Made two decks from draft cards, which one is better?

We did a Theros draft, and from the cards I pulled I can make two decks, a Green/Red deck and a Green/Red/Blue deck. I am still wondering which one is better. Probably the two-color deck, but I also have some nice blue cards that I kinda want to use, and I do have some mana ramps/fixers. And in playtest they both do pretty decent... Here are the two decks:

The minimum for Limited is a 40 card deck.

The minimum for a constructed deck is 60 cards.

I suggest upsizing your decks by going up to 60 by adding in more cards that stand out in your colors such as Burning-Tree Emissary , because you won't be allowed to use those in a sanctioned constructed event if they stay at 40.

No we're not done with the draft matches yet, we will be continuing tomorrow, so everyone has some time to tweak their 40 card decks.

It's a casual friends draft.

Thanks for your reply though

A little bit of both. I would go GR/u, keeping the shell of the GR deck, and swapping both Fleetfeather Sandals to splash blue to run Griptide and Sea God's Revenge . You could run 3 Island s, as the Ordeal, Caryatid and the Hart should be able to help fix for you.

If you have a Traveler's Amulet I would consider running that over the Ordeal of Nylea.

Thanks for the useful advice! Sadly I don't have that Amulet, but I do plan on keeping some blue in it. Also the Dissolve counterspell looks nice to have.

Dissolve is a great spell, but it doesn't suit the rest of the deck. You'll want to go beatdown/ramp and whilst it does stop something, it's too mana intense for a splash, and makes you take your foot of the gas, which is something I'm assuming you don't want to do.
