Until we get the full spoiler list I can't help too much but for Black White Green (Abzan), You're going to want to go a late game shell.
4x Sylvan Caryatid - ramp, blocks well and has hexproof
4x Bile Blight - Kill lots of things include the big scary Mardu clan leader
4x Courser of Kruphix - helpshitland and blocks really well.
4x Heroes Downfall - Murder whatever you want, including planeswalkers
3x Brimaz, King of Oreskos - Vigilance plus Sorin is strong. Brimaz is brilliant defensively.
4x Sorin, Solemn Visitor - he can spit out a flying blocker or help you gain life for going late.
3x Ob Nixilus the Unshackled - Ob Nu for short. He may be a 6 mana 4/4 but with kill spells he'll be huge. Plus he stops late game fetches.
4x Duneblast - Board wipe that saves your big guy, especially good with Ob Nu
1x Garruk, Apex Predator - Super bomb walker. creates deathtouches,kill other walkers and kill creatures.
The other 5 I'd focus on killspells and maybe ramp. The charm will probably be a good inclusion.

I can't believe I wrote Abzan list without including Elspeth... :OProbably cut 1-2 Sorin for 2 Elspeth actually. As I stare at the Abzan I'm confused how they can be control without card draw. It feels so... wrong.

Yeah I almost feel like control is mistake for it. I dont see the control in it either. I dont think anyone will run it as a control archetype, unless they have cards still yet to come.

Wait for Khans to be fully spoiled. Then we'll talk about stuff. For now, it's hard to get a clear picture of how everything's gonna look like. It's hard, I know, but give it a week. Message back here or tag willing people on a deck. Name your budget and we'll get to work.
