I didn't know if I should put this here or in Standard, but I thought that now is a good time to start talking about post rotation. Maybe not particular decklists, but at least archetypes and specific cards that we think will shine.
The thing I am working over right now is UWR Midrange with counterspells, possibly {Anger of the Gods}, {Stormbreath Dragon}, maybe {Avacyn, Guardian Angel}...thinking I will get some nice toys from the Jeskai also.
{Chasm Skulker}! It depends on what cards the Sultai get, but I'm creating a draw-based control deck around chasm for now. It's BUG, with counter and kill spells to delay, scry to find my stuff, and then draw to buff skulker.
I'm going to type up some decklists for fun, enjoy:

I agree UWR will be a big standard deck. Seems like it has all the right cards with a wedge block coming up.

I think Sultai could be the premier control deck. It has {Courser of Kruphix}, counterspells, {Hero's Downfall}, {Extinguish All Hope}, {Aetherspouts}....

Ya I have been testing for a BUG Control Since spoloiers, the results against other post rotations have been quite promising.
UWR also seems promising, what with the only solid sweeper in the form of {Anger of the Gods}

Well, {Fated Retribution} is okay. Also, I am sure Khans will give White a sweeper.
I'm look at a U/G draw deck with {life's legacy}, {Chasm Skulker} and {Phytotitan} still needs refinement
Tldr the earlier posts but I'm thinks USA Control with counters {Wrath of God} (or whatever board wipe Khans gets and {Keranos God of Winning} as the finisher
I'm thinking {Ensoul Artifact} deck. 4x {Darksteel Citadel} and {Ornithopter}.
T1 island, {Ornithopter}.
T2 land {Ensoul Artifact} on {Ornithopter} swing 5/5 flyer.
That is pressure. I can see it maybe being B/R and running {Shrapnel Blast}. Either way it's possible T4 kill.
