I'm a big fan of the standard dredge deck that has been prevalent for the last month or so. Utilizing the graveyard in combination with powerful dig spells is awesome in terms of raw power and consistency.

Dredge seems to have gotten quite a few new toys in JOU:Pharika, God of Affliction is able to deter any ground attack for fear of getting 1/1 deathtouched. On the plus side, the tokens are also enchantments, triggering one of the more interesting keywords of the set: Constellation. Doomwake Giant is a very strong constellation effect that just might end games against aggro players. Strength from the Fallen seems to be tailored for the dredge deck and really, the combination with pharika looks very powerful.

Nyx Weaver does it all: Blocks Nightveil Specter, Cloudfin Raptor and Chandra's Phoenix, fills your graveyard and doubles as a regrowth on top of it all is unparalleled value in this deck. Did I mention it is also an enchantment for the constellation triggers?
