Standard with Dragons Maze
Standard forum

So with a large part of the dragons maze set spoiled, and only a few short weeks before the set releases, I do think that it is time to start brewing for the upcoming standard format. What do you guys think will be big in standard? Voice of Resurgence is going to make waves much like Boros Reckoner did, but I think it will fall off soon once people start main decking Pillar of Flame again. Ral Zarek is sweet and will see play. I'm loving Sin collector and notion thief as well. Varolz may see some play along side cards like Falkenrath Aristocrat and Vexing Devil . Advent of the Wurm is also stupidly broken and will go along nicely with voice of resurgence in making G/W aggro or midrange a thing. What archetypes do you guys think will be the most powerful? Any new archetypes to look out for?
Rakdos midrange possibly? With the Master of Cruelties, I could see it happening.

I think Aetherling will be the new go-to finisher for blue control decks.
Spot removal gets better with Turn//Burn, Warped Physique, and Far//Away.
Blood Scrivener may bring back RB Zombies.

I'd say blood scrivener may be better in BG zombies.
And I think Master of Cruelties fits better in a Grixis control deck using Staff of Nin or a burn spell to finish the job.

Anything that already seems obviously broken fits into one of two categories:
1: Clearly broken. Will see play forever.
2: Clearly broken, but has no place is the current metagame.
[advent of the wurm] and Voice of Resurgence are both clearly game-breaking in the right matchups. It's just a matter of time before we see if they fit in the metagame.
