Will devotion come back in the new Standard?
The list:
Mountains 22
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 2 or 2 more Mountains
Dragon Whisperer 4
Eidolon of the Great Revel 4
Flamewake Phoenix 4
Goblin Rabblemaster 4
Ashcloud Phoenix 2
Thunderbreak Regent 2
Fanatic of Mogis 2
Purphoros, God of the Forge 1
Outpost Siege 2
Chandra, Pyromaster 2
The decks on Mtggoldfish.com have 4 Hordeling Outburst. There are 2 plans to win:
1. Attack, then Franatic of Mogis
2. Purphoros, then Goblin tokens
With Dragon Whisperer, we got a new plan:
Devotion into 6/5 Purphoros, then make Dragon tokens!
Results: I have played the deck several times against aggros. It's too slow with 4cmc cards. When you have a hand full of 4 cmc and your opponent's playing 1/1s or tokens, it doesn't matter how strong your cards are. It's rather similar to a legion of soldiers passing through a super narrow valley through which only a few soldiers can pass at a time. Then imagine outside the valley set up tons of arrows. That's my feeling when testing this deck against aggros.

There is no card better than Dragon Whisperer for red devotion. Not only does it contribute RR to devotion but its 1R:+1 ability brings back Flamewake Phoenix (Ferocious).
I like Flamewake Phoenix. But on paper, it has a promo version. It's likely that it's designated to be printed as a player's reward card( much like what they did on Chandra's Phoenix ).
Do you like Ashcloud Phoenix more? Is it better than Thunderbreak Regent? Or reverse? No matter what the answers are, Regent is the most likely a replacement for Stormbreath Dragon after rotation.
