Title: New deck archetypes?
Post by: izik99 on January 05, 2013, 01:14:58 PM
Does anyone see any deck types in Standard that will gain popularity during Gatecrash? Even unknown, new ones? I already am thinking about an Unblockable Cipher build, and an Extort Lifegain Control deck. I tend to think of things that never actually happen to be popular, but who knows?

Visionary clone and {primal surge} is likely but not super competitive.

Crypt Ghast will create a new high end beat down and/or reanimator. As well as a darker version of {omniscience}.

Defenders may be more prevalent as they gain more options.

Blue black control will be a top deck once more.

{Cavern of souls} will spike since their are great cards scattered over different colors.

Red green beat down is back with a vengance.
