Deck Description

It is my belief that when RtR rotates and KoT comes into the scene that devotion will shine and let me explain why. There's a tidbit of ancestral knowledge in the Magic community that says in a multicolor format, you can get a huge advantage by building a streamlined, consistent deck. When everyone is playing three colors, you should play two colors; when everyone is playing two colors, you should go mono-color. Traditionally, this theory is about being aggressive and punishing opponents who may stumble on their mana. However, it need not be restricted to just aggro decks. In a format as powerful as today's standard, if you're developing your board while your opponents are struggling to get on their feet, the game is as good as won. What's more, all of the aggro decks that your opponents build will be built to beat players whose lands come into play tapped, or deal them massive amounts of damage. If you refuse to play into their hands, then you'll be the toughest opponent they're likely to face. So with a fresh metagame, presumably dominated by midrange creature decks, as well as a few well-placed tools not only from Khans of Tarkir but also M15, I believe that devotion decks have a great chance to shine.

Deck discussion for Post Rotation Standard

As this deck is pretty aggro I feel like anger of the gods is going to be counterproductive hit hitting all your 1,2 & 3 drops effectively nuking your own board, possibly smacking you in the face while this happens because of firedrinker. Also Eidolon of Revels but that guy will hopefully already be dead blocking some fatty if it comes to Angering.
