I played during Ravager standard so all of this is fun to me.
This. Ravager made me stop playing Magic for 2 years.

Seeing that you can get away with playing Good Cards + Thragtusks I don't see how the meta is bad. With Gatecrash we're going to see a whole slew of decks doing random ****. Anybody could pick up 4 glimmer voids, 4 ravagers, 4 nexus and then all of the hilariously easy to get commons and uncommons to play Rafinity. The deck was easy to make and even easier to play.

I keep thinking the best deck looks something like x4 Deathrite and x4 Thragtusks, but I can't figure out the rest of it. It starts to look like Jund in my mind, but that deck seems too top decky. Than I think Junk Rites, but I hate cutting the red. If I add the red, Deathrite seems to greedy.
I suck at deck building.

and its not like jund couldn't (or shouldn't) just start playing more card drawing. most just choose to play more spells rather than drawing stuff. sign in blood? where are those lists? more underworld connections? the deck plays 8 creatures that gain life and most decks aren't super aggressive anymore, making a non-zero amount of less significant.
Blue is the best color ever. How do you deal?

I'm starting to think this myself. Something like "Jund Control" doesn't seem terrible. Still white just has the mass removal role that seems to fill that void left by the lack of counterspell.

If you need mass removal, run Mutilate  . With both Blood Crypt and Overgrown Tomb, it's not even that hard on the mana base.

Just wait until Gatecrash and play BUG. Shamans and snapcasters. Can't really think of anything better.

BUG is terrible without Sylvan Library.

I'm so spoiled by Legacy.

It's that damn Angel of Serenity. I think Dimir or Simic needs some kinda hexproof fatty to compete with her. Currently, if you play something big, Angel just sweeps it. It's kinda the reason Niv Mizzet is so bad right now.
