What decks that aren't played in Standard now do you think will see play come Born of the Gods?

Now that all has been revealed what do you think will happen? Give reasons for your deck choices/ideas. Even if you don't think it'll be that good what will you be playing? I personally think U/B Control could make a return with the help of Drown in Sorrow and Bile Blight .
I'll be running a Pain Seer U/B build in addition to my Bant (possibly changing to Naya) Hexproof, and I might throw together a RDW burn deck with Satyr Firedancer if I find enough of him. None of them are great, but they'll do fine for FNM.
White Weenies might see a Resurgence, but I doubt MBD will be dethroned as the reigning champ.

Axebane Guardian could shape up to be the bane of our lives! ... Sorry.

I don't think anything is going to change that much. There's not really any "breakout" cards for new deck types. It appears to just be tweaks to current decks, or variations of them.

Luckily at my FNM people don't tend to spend loads of money on decks so we end up with crazy homebrews. I feel bad for people who like playing different decks in an environment filled with MBD which is only set to improve.

I can't say for sure what the pros are gonna come up with, I wouldn't be surprised to see White Weenie devotion decks pop up. At FNM's I would expect some bant, white weenie, U/G devotion decks, and even some mill decks from those dedicated mill lovers to show up early. After that it's all gonna depend on how well they do and how much fun people have playing it to determine if they stick around. Because it something just completely sucks people will give up, but if they feel like they still have a chance and like the deck then it'll stick around at FNM's and you'll keep seeing it.

@Judicious Sounds like that would make for a ton of fun!
For me, I want to build a competitive U/G deck with Prophet of Kruphix and the new Kiora, the Crashing Wave . I feel like a deck like that could have a lot of potential. Also, G/R monster is getting a few new creatures that could see some play.

I think that for a couple of weeks FNM is going to be flooded with "5 color bad mana base" as I like to call it. I would suggest siding a few burning earth if you run red in case coming across one of these decks.
