Standard Metagame After Origins?
Standard forum

With the release of Origins, i expect some great changes to the standard Metagame. I expect Goblin Tribal and Elf tribal to become popular, and whats left of midrange will leave. Aggro will still be prominent. White weenie will be really good. Control will still exist, but not as widely played. What are your thoughts?
It is WAY too soon to speculate. We still haven't seen over half of Origins, so just wait until next week when the full set is spoiled.

I'm just guessing now that Abzan will only get better with Languish as a nice compliment to Rhino and Tasigur

origins isn't even out yet and normally I'd say "keep your pants on" but I'm excited for post origins standard too so I don't blame you for speculating (I hated theros standard).
if aggro becomes popular (it might) then junk will be even more powerful as it has access to the best removal (Languish, Bile Blight), recurring threats blockers (deathmist), and lifegain (rhino, Hidden Dragonslayer).
control has a few new tools like nissa, languish, and Mizzium Meddler which is pretty cool.
R/U Burn might become a thing. They just got Exquisite Firecraft and the new chandra along with Avaricious Dragon and Day's Undoing. A burn deck with Day's Undoing, Treasure Cruise, and Monastery Swiftspear would absurdly powerful.

If a few more good Goblins or Elves are printed, those two decks are going to be everywhere. Control is getting new tools, but losing some with Theros, too. Monsters decks are going to virtually vanish. Midrange might still be a thing. I might see the beginning of white aggro.

I feel like Mono White Enchantments could be a thing, with Starfield of Nyx and that one uncommon that gets +1/+1 for each enchantment.

The best way to know is seeing the spoilers for BfZ
