Ok. So, I've come to realise that I've just gotten hammered over and over again. Some of it is luck, some of it is likely poor deck design. Some of it is me, as a player not having a natural affinity with the colours chosen - I love green, but I suspect I am not too fond of white unless I splash some red in there with it.
This has been my current standard deck for a bit - Dromoka Says No - and my experiences so far...mixed. I feel it doesn't really fare well with the current tri-colour meta. I feel it's a bit slow to roll up and I have two choices now. Either I can refine this.
Or I can plunge straight into a new deck - now here's the catch. My resources are limited. Until I get funds in I have to make do with what I have - personally I prefer Magic that way. I hate the netdeck buy X, Y, Z approach and as such I try to make viable functioning things from what I can.
Now as for colours....
I love Green. Green is always my core. It is something I started playing first and something I will continue to play. I identify with it. I love Red. And if there's Red I love white to mix with it.
To help folks out, and myself I decided to used Tapped Out's flexibility and created the following - Stock Lists of what I actually own, outside of basic lands/Evolving Wilds. Basically, these are my pool of cards and I will update them when things rotate out of Standard.
Not A Deck - A Stock List - Lands - Lands
Not a Deck - A Stock List - C - Commons
Not a Deck - A Stock List- U - Uncommons
Not A Deck - A Stock List - R/MR - Rares and Mythics
Another thing...
I seriously am considering a R/G mana ramp approach into big creatures. Largely because Eldrazi return soon and I really, really want to prepare for them and have a framework.
I'd not say no to going Red/Green/Blue either if I had to.
Help would be appreciated and would be interested in seeing what other people can do. I'm just terrible at thinning things down and refining them it seems.
Update - prototype R/G deck made - R/G Dragonforce
I would suggest waiting for rotation in October before building and committing to anything in standard. I would be very bad to build something now and one month later, to have it be completely unviable.

To be perfectly honest, the problem with that is that it has me sit for nearly two months doing nothing. That's not acceptable. Hence why I asked for some assistance to either refine or build anew.

you could build a post rotation deck, or engage in social activities unrealated to magic.

Nothing?
Feel kind of sad since I really would like some help - I feel like I'm seriously lacking focus and need to refine a bit.
