Thassa, God of the Sea is a HUGE boost for any control deck or mid range deck that can reach her devotion cost.
Oh yeah, and let's not forget the format changing Thoughtseize being reprinted

I think red deck wins or boros may be a thing because of Purphoros, God of the Forge but Thoughtseize and Elspeth, Sun's Champion will see lots of play to.

Do you think Ajani, Caller of the Pride is one of the best in new standard?

That depends on how much heroic is utilized. Being able to trigger that every turn is pretty huge.

Pretty sure you have to cast something that targets a creature for the Heroic ability to trigger. Ajani's +1 ability wouldn't trigger Heroic, because it isn't "cast."

I'll give some love to Read the Bones , it's not the best card in format for sure, but no one else seems excited by it.

I always forget that you need to cast something to trigger heroic.

Voice of Resurgence , Anger of the Gods , Supreme Verdict , Thoughtseize , Magma Jet , Young Pyromancer , Fleecemane Lion , Sphinx's Revelation , Purphoros, God of the Forge , Desecration Demon , AEtherling , Fiendslayer Paladin , Doom Blade , those are all cards I foresee being very key to many archetypes in the current standard.

Trait Doctoring FTW!!!! :) j/k
@fluffybunnypants I'm excited by Read the Bones . It's not a win con by any means but it's a HUGE 3 mana draw with Scry for black which doesn't usually have things like that without pay life (i.e., Sign in Blood )

The Q&A is meant for rules questions. Moved to Standard forum.
