Magic: the Gathering, a return to Standard

So after idly watching the metagame while I wasn't in a position to play, I return just in time for Ravnica to rotate out, which makes me sad.

I ordered some cards for an UW control deck, trying to stay away from expensive cards that are about to rotate out. But I sooo want to pick up five mutavaults when rotation hits. Maybe a few Sphinx's Revelation and Supreme Verditcs for my EDH decks.

I'm also quietly preparing for Rotation with some cards for a Mono Red. The only rares/mythics on my lists are Cards that I will only not be playing if the new block is dramatically ridiculous.
