Just got back into magic, what are the stabdards for control deck... Can't still be counter spell/wrath
It's less counter spell now. It's because of {cavern of souls}. It's more like wrath/kill then anything else. Hope this helps
Yeah, at my LGS people that run control still use mana leak...but it is more about draw spells and kill spells.
Control uses several plainswalkers now.
A popular one is {Nicol Bolas, Plainswalker}. Another one that goes along with bolas is {Karn, Liberated}. Other popular choices include {Liliana of the Veil} and {Tamiyo the Moon Sage}. Also seen is {Gideon Jura}.

Lots of control elements in white and black right now. Lockdown decks run {Stonehorn Dignitary} and/or {Frost Tiran}. White's big control spells are {Day of Judgment} and {Terminus}. Black has {Black Sun's Zenith}, {Mutilate}, and, to a lesser extent, {Barter in Blood}. The blue staples are {Mana Leak} and {Vapor Snag}, and occasionally {Devastation Tide}. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now.
Thanks this is the sort of thing I'm looking for
RtR artifacts wont make {trading post} good, Golgari will make it good.

How when each guild is getting all new mechanics. None of the old mechanics will be in the RtR block sadly.

That doesnt change the theme of each guild. Golgari will have some sort of graveyard interaction.
