Any speculation to begin as we start spoiler season?

Just assume that zero decks will survive rotation. This counts for every rotation that has and will ever happen.

To clarify my comment: archetypes (Megamorph Abzan, for example) will survive but come out looking very different. I'm sure Den-Mist will stick around, but in a different shell. Most decks can't just replace rotated cards with new cards.

Mono-Red Aggro will still be a thing as it's only losing Lightning Strike, Eidolon of the Great Revel, Stoke the Flames, and then the 2 damage spells like Magma Jet. All of those cards have other card that can replace them. Mono-Red Aggro will most likely turn into Atarka red though.

well if the worst happens from using a mono-red deck and i cant use it fully i always got a assault formation mill deck that will survive rotation and also i could make a eldrazi deck of course :3

Most of my Naya Dragons deck survives minus elvish mystic

A bunch of decks can survive, but they lose key pieces and will need replacements from BFZ.
Hero's Downfall is a big one, as are 3-mana hard counters like Dissolve and Dissipate.
