BFZ standard musings
Standard forum

This is kind of a dual thread. First off, I want ideas as to what the standard meta will look like once BFZ hits. Second, I want thoughts on Mono-Red Aggro, which is the deck I'm currently budgeted into. Thoughts on what the best list would be for that archetype would be greatly appreciated.
Regarding your first question: I have a feeling WG counters featuring Hangarback Walker, Undergrowth Champion and Denmist combo will be prominent. I've seen variants with Hardened Scales and Evolutionary Leap but I'm not sure which variant will win out. Bottom line: it's incredibly powerful, proved in super-Standard that it could win consistently, and is losing ZERO key cards to rotation.

I've been toying around with some b/r aggro ideas. I'm really thinking that Bloodsoaked Champion will be great as a 1 drop. The raid trigger is also useful as you can bring him back off his own attack if he dies.
I also feel like an Esper control list that isn't dragons might work out well.

I am building Temur ramp into eldrazi, but I haven't tested it against the G/W Abzan decks that are sure to be present. Mono Red seems to be cornered into Goblins.

I've been testing a Red Black aggro deck on untap, and it's been brutal. Rakdos Aggro BFZ. I've tested against Green White Den Protector/Deathmist Raptor, Esper control and Esper dragons, and Abzan midrange. It lost one game to Abzan, but won the second. It has the ability to race just about any deck, as well as having the long game to last past turn 7. I think more decklists like this will be popping up.
