There's been a lot of good control cards spoiled so far for Guilds of Ravnica, cards like Dream Eater that seem like good replacements for Torrential Gearhulk in a powered down standard. Then there are crazy cards like Assassin's Trophy that really push Golgari. On top of these new cards, we have existing cards like Vraska's Contempt and Search for Azcanta   that are key cards in blue and black decks already. Also 2 Shock lands in Sultai, with all 3 check lands being able to enter untapped off of the shocks makes the mana base for 3 color decks really consistent with Field of Ruin able to fetch out basics if you need them.

Currently the deck is looking for a better finisher than Dream Eater or the Tokens from card:2x Vraska, Relic Seeker, but the shell of the deck is already looking really good. Over the next week, we will see many more cards that might be able to push this deck.

Alternatively, the deck could become more creature/graveyard based with cards like Narcomoeba , Izoni, Thousand-Eyed , and card:Macabre Hatchery.

Both Dimir and Golgari are guilds that are focusing heavy on he graveyard in this expansion, and will work well together.
