Ooooooooookay, so I'm really really really getting antsy about this new set!!

What are you feeling like some of your favorite color combinations will be THUS far (I know they haven't spoiled many cards yet)?

I feel like, with the addition of {Kiora, the Crashing Wave}, that people will definitely be trying to find new ways to play Simic.

{Mogis, God of Slaughter} looks FAB and I believe Rakdos players (like myself) will be chomping at the bit to test this guy out.

I'm super interested to see what they do with Phenax.....the Turbo Miller in me hopes against hopes that this god will wreak havoc upon opponents' libraries (mwahahaha)!

In all honesty I would love to see a solid mill deck. That is something wizards has yet to support as a solid archetype in a standard environment. It would definately shake up the meta if it came out. And as far as other things to come, some form of hexproof or aura deck will try to sneak it's way into play

That's what I'm playing :P my list is in Standard if you wanna check it.

As for combos I like {Springleaf Drum} and Baby Bob

I'm really liking  {Springleaf Drum}. Take advantage of the the creatures that have Inspired but don't tap right away and have extra mana to boot.

Gorzo

Rakdos blood orgy, all the way!

Edit: possibly with a Minotaur tribal deck coming soon!

in "uncharted realms" in the wizards site, phenax was responsible for the returned. So I anticipate reanimator or a {regrow} effect

Lol, well thanks! I've been around....you know, hiding under rocks.

{Rhox} of course! Sweet little green beastie :D

Back to topic, a reanimator for U/B would be neat; I can still hope against hope that it will have a Mill aspect though! D:

when the returned come back from the underworld, they have no memory of who they were, so mill is still a possibility...

Maybe a mill-reanimator hybrid? Like it mills creatures from the opponents library, then steals them from the graveyard. A double-whammy!

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

I am going to run Minotaur tribal and hilarious aura-ness with {Hero of Iroas} (my favorite card from BNG so far). Why? Because I love using brute force and weird synergies to smash people.

DEGA SMASH!

Also, I like this Mill X Reanimator hybrid. Make it happen!
