What is Grixis Control going to do post-rotation?

I've been really meaning to get into playing Grixis Control or Midrange, but I'm afraid that with Nicol Bolas, the Ravager Flip rotating out in the fall that the deck is going to lose a lot of power and may become not competitively viable. I'm playing on MTGA so I'm trying to be as stingy with my Mythic Wildcards as possible. I'm hoping that maybe something can fill in the 4 mana slot that Ravager currently takes up, but right now I don't know if a card like that exists. Any help on how to proceed?
We have not a single card or even the name of the fall set. It is far too early to tell.

I wouldn’t worry about rotation until well after the spoilers start rolling in. Just save your wildcards until then, unless there is some M20 stuff you know you will be playing. I personally have Esper Hero built, and while it’s pretty awful to play right now I’m definitely not spending any of the few wildcards I have until I know what I want to play in the Fall.

I have a feeling his question is on where he could spend wildcards now to get him close enough to a grixis list without spending 4 mythic cards on a card coming into rotation.

I've seen some Crackling Drake floating around and God-Eternal Kefnet is also quite strong, losing bolas isn't what's going to kill grixis, it's probably going to be how much slower the deck is going to be from not having check lands.
