So, Ive been mulling over possible ideas for a new standard deck. And I was think Junk walkers. It seems like Junk (in general) has the some best Post RTR Block cards. So I feel like it could be a viable deck post rotation.
So thoughts on this possible deck?
PW's currently usable would be:
Ajani MoH
Elspeth
Vraska
But with M15 it seems like we might seem a B/G Garruk. Plus a new mono black and mono white PW. Meaning lots of potential possibilities.
We have the best combo of removal in black and white.
i like the direction JUNK is going, and the cards are extremely powerful. Chapin had an impressive block constructed list (obviously)
i actually have been plaing JUNK for a couple of weeks now and playing 2x Ajani 1x Elspeth 1X Vraska.. seems to be a good number, but another elspeth seems more viable as well. i don't know if vraska can go to 2, cause all she really is is an expensive removal spell. :/ (you still have downfall and sever available for better removal)
I would say elspeth is an auto 2 main and atleast 1 more side if not auto 3.
But yeah. Vraska does function that way. But with Banishing light tahts another set of solid removal. Meaning you could be able to push Vraska towards an ultimate.
With TS and BM removing Hero's D. It makes for an easy route.
The biggest problem with a Junk walkers build right now is the lack of a 4 mana board wipe. PW heavy builds are built towards the late game almost by definition and without an easy reset the game button a lot of match ups become very difficult. Junk does let you do some powerful things with Thoughtseize, Courser of Kruphix, Elspeth. I'm just not sure Ajani/Vraska are good enough to justify a planeswalker build. Ajani has been lackluster so far for me and Vraska is a kill spell that gains you a life.
With m15 if we get a rampant growth/farseek I think it will most definitely be a very powerful deck.

Well we do have extinguish all hope which is solid. Maybe not 4 mana. But it playable
The Standard forum isn't the place for M15 speculation or post-rotation discussion. If you'd like to discuss a Junk list in the current format, you can do so in the Standard Deck Creation forum.
