Rotation is upon us. We have about a month until Shadows Over Innistrad is going to be released and standard totally changes. Here are five cards that I think will be very strong post-rotation. Please note that this is without the full spoiler for SOI so something can be printed that makes one of these worse.
- Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy- Is anybody surprised? Jace remained one of the best cards in standard since he was printed. He does get a little worse with fetchlands leaving the format so it will be slightly harder to flip him. However, with madness being in Shadows Jaces’ front side gets even stronger.
- Collected Company- I think out of the gates that Bant Company is going to be quite good, it loses very little keeping the incredibly power core of the deck together. Collected Company is very good with the creatures already in the format and will only get better with new powerful creatures being printed.
- Dragonlord Ojutai- One of the decks I have been brewing for post rotation is a Jeskai Dragons list and Ojutai is one of the huge incentives to do so. It can be very hard to deal with a resolved Ojutai especially if you back it up with some Silumgar’s Scorn
- Chandra, Flamecaller- Chandra is great, she is puts a lot of pressure on your opponent and can close the game out very quickly. However, something I think it pretty powerful is her 0 ability with the addition of madness. Drawing an extra card and getting to cast a madness spell or two seems great.
- Hangarback Walker- Despite losing its’ good friend hardened scales I actually think Hangarback will be continue to be good after rotation. Mana becomes much worse as we lose fetchlands so having no mana requirements in a slow grindy deck seems great.
