What to Play After RTR Block Rotates?
Deck Help forum

I'm torn on what to play after the next block comes out and Return to Ravnica is gone. I am curently playing UW Control, a deck that is extremely formidable in the current metagame, but likely won't be after Jace, Architect of Thought , Sphinx's Revelation , Supreme Verdict , and other control staples rotate out. (It is worth mentioning that I am on a budget, and I an borrowing most of those cards.)
So, what do you think will be playable after RTR leaves? And what low-cost deck can I start playing right now that will easily transition out of RTR?
I think that devotion decks will be a thing as long as Gary and master of waves are around. So if you wanted to start investing I'd say MBD and MUD are good bets. Keep an eye out for cards that will likely replace the RtR staples like Herald of Torment for Nightviel Specter etc.

I think it's a bit early to start speculating on post RTR standard, as we still have JIN, M15, and the firrst set of the next block before RTR rotates.

Thanks for your input! I think I have settled on Gruul Aggro, as it will still have many essential tools (Xenagos, The Reveler , Fanatic of Xenagos , Firedrinker Satyr , etc.)
Now let us all have a silent prayer to Ephara, God of the Polis that Jace, Architect of Thought is reprinted in M15...

Being that rotation won't happen till September/October, it's really too early to get any kind of idea right now. We still have to get through one more set in Theros block, as well as M15, which will both likely have some sort of impact on the Standard meta. Not to mention, we have no clue whatsoever what the concept behind the next block will be, let alone any idea what types of things we may see.
