Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

Basically the title, what do you guys think will be good at the Pro Tour? What cards will spike up in play and price and what may not do so well? Are you speculating on any specific cards? What decks will be tier 1 coming out of the PT?

To start it off, I think that if the Rally the Ancestors decks continue to do well, Graveblade Marauder will find a home there and jump out of bulk rare status.

One exiles the graveyard, but the other uses the graveyard. I wouldn't put them in a deck together

I see your point greyninja, I should have been more clear. Graveblade Marauder should see play with Nantuko Husk, Mogis's Marauder and Rally the Ancestors.

The basic plan is to fill the graveyard with Satyr Wayfinder and Gather the Pack, then bring them all back with rally. Give haste and intimidate with Mogis's Marauder and sack most of them to Nantuko Husk. This grows Nantuko Husk and Graveblade Marauder while stopping all your creatures from being exiled to Rally the Ancestors.

You may be right though, they may be a non-bo.... just my speculation

the Rally decks are looking quite strong, but I expect more traditional archetypes to seize the day in the Standard portion. I expect control, all the flavors of Abzan, Jeskai Ascendancy combo and tokens, RDW alongside Atarka-Red, and some number of Goblins and Elves decks. Rally might show up, but I'm not convinced it's the best deck in the format.

I thought the Ascendancy token decks fell off a while ago. Generally, there should be some control decks that will likely extend to Esper Dragons, a good amount of aggro, R&D's dream of competitive Goblins and Elves, Abzan, Rally decks, and probably some new brews that might do pretty well. Standard is looking pretty great right now.
