Kaladesh: Trading by understanding its theme

Usually I write detail things after the full spoiler's out.

To make it short:


Theme 1 Vehicles


Buy Lupine Prototype
Lupine Prototype
It turns on all the vehicles spoiled so far.


Theme 2 Enemy color "fast" lands

Buy all enemy color cards:
Grim FlayerTamiyo, Field ResearcherNahiri, the HarbingerSorin, Grim Nemesis
The Gitrog MonsterWandering FumaroleHissing QuagmireNeedle Spires
There 's no evidence yet they will be great, but they are safe.


Theme 3 Equipment

Stoneforge MasterworkStone Haven Outfitter
Check the story, I guess some great equipment will be in it.


Theme 4 Chandra and Tokens

Buy OGW Chandra
Chandra, Flamecaller
The hype of new Chandra will cause people to sell the OGW Chandra.
But the OGW one is a better sweeper on the tokens from Kaladesh than the new Chandra.

Theme 5 Blue based control decks


Torrential Gearhulk
Eventually, they have a new Snapcaster Mage join the Standard meta.
I remember the last time Snapcaster was in Standard yeas ago, UB control swept the meta.
This time I think Esper or UB is a likely winner in the early stage of Kaladesh Standard, as:
1. Too many creature decks around.
2. Liliana's abilities fit very well with gearhulk for creating a recurring loop for UB control.

Buy Emrukal and Liliana, the Last Hope.

Bonus:
I read about the block after Kaladesh has Egyptian backdrop. One of the theme in Egyptian myths is life, after life and reanimation.
So, I think my readers can throw around 20 - 50 tix to buy Nahiri's Wrath, which works quite well with reanimation abilities.

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...
