It all depends on which cards you have. Both are extremely potent but I would give the edge to {W}{U} control, if you have the stuff.

UW control is tier 2 RG is like tier 5, RG lost all its reasons to run green which is why mone red is so much better

If you have the cards my bantchantment list is lots of fun. R/g monstrous is easier to play and build though.

R/G has a lot...

{Burning Tree Emissary}

{Xenagos, the Reveler}

{Legion Loyalist}

{Scavenging Ooze}

{Ghor Clan Rampager}

{Garruk Caller of Beasts} -> {Worldspine Wurm}

{Kalonian Hydra}

{Savageborn Hydra}

{Arbor Colossus} is so underrated, along with {Deadbridge Goliath}/{Polukranos, the World Eater}.

{Stormbreath Dragon}

{Domri Rade}

{Kalonian Tusker} is very good

{Ash Zealot}

{Experiment One}

{Madcap Skills}
