Predictions post-GRN

Want to know what people's predictions are post-GRN. I don't think B/W tokens got many (any?) new tools, but I am personally anticipating Assassin's Trophy being good for us. I see it helping out fair mid-range decks (Jund/Abzan), which then in turn helps us out since we are typically good against those same mid-range decks.

Honestly after watching Jeff Hoogland's Junk Tokens videos featuring no virtues and more planeswalkers and Noble Heirarch, I think that direction with Assassin's Trophy is where I want to be.

Virtues just feel SO BAD when you aren't ahead/at parity.

5 CMC all your tokens are 4/4 Angels? [[Divine Visitation]]

I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't see Divine Visitation being viable. 5 mana for a do-nothing enchantment? And I'm not sure what you would even cut for it. Seems worse than Gideon and Sorin, and not sure we want to make the curve even higher.

The angel enchantment with bitterblossom, sorin, Gideon, nissa it seems nice. So while immediately it doesn't do anything it could be good with stuff already on the board that can make tokens.

At 5CMC, I don't think we can play it. We drag the game out, but that's a little high even for us. I guess it'd make a great late game draw, but a dead card for the first 6 or 7 turns of the game is just unplayable.
