States is coming. The decks are being built and the gauntlet has been thrown. And now a gauntlet needs to be devised. I think that there are many possible control decks that can be built to take advantage of the new metagame – but the standouts are Mono-Red Control, B/G Control, U/W Control, and W/G Control.

Mirrodin amazes me. Now that I can finally know for sure what it is that I am looking at, I am more eager than ever to tear into the shrink-wrap of a few unopened packs and start building decks. But I need something to test my weirdo decks against! Yeah, I’m looking way ahead all the way to Mirrodin-legal Standard… If Miss Cleo can do it, so can I. But before I can build a rogue deck to beat a metagame, I have to predict what I think that metagame will be….
