I was trying to build a clean Golgari deck around Blech, Loafing Pest and it was ok but just missing some power. Leaning into green with Llanowar Elves and Teacher's Pest felt fine, but adding White to the mix for more aggressive bats and lifegain payoffs feels like a slam dunk. The mana is perfect with 15 untapped sources of each color on turn 1 to reliably play the whole deck. I don't know if this list can hang with the current powerful metagame of standard, but it's definitely both powerful and fun!
