So, as a helpful signpost of things to come, I threw together a list of all the support cards I could find that are ubiquitous enough to worth having on hand. Most of these are pennies on the dollar except for some notable exceptions. Namely, we have so many Vraska's Contempts flying around that people are going to think she is the moodiest walker next to Garruk. Also, the second we see Garruk come back I think it's just going to be "everyone run for your freaking lives".
Now, a few of these support cards obviously get replaced in certain decks with etb creatures and such, but these are basically all playable staples in the format. I'm sure there will be a little shuffling when the next standard set drops, but if anyone is looking towards the future, this is what we got. Feel free to add anything that I might have missed here, as I didn't include a lot of sorcery spells or creatures in the list.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Adding in Golden Demise at a friends request. It's one of the few black sweepers still hanging around.
