From playing lots of magic through many rotations, what usually happens this time of year is that you get maybe one newish deck(ala kibler gruul) and a bunch of SUPER SAYIAN DECKS that got some sort of steriod from the block and/or people figuring out how to merge archetypes with new mana being available.

I won't speculate on new decks, but what I'd really expect to see would be a super powered B/x devotion deck(llanowar wastes, urborg, sign in blood), a resurgence of white weenie(new ajani and a mountain of other white cards that I can't think of in addition to 2 white dual lands), some slight upgrades to Jund monsters(Garruk?, Souls? etc.), and esper getting froggy with more double black removal spells(cave of koilos).

All that being said, as a burn player, I'd absolutely be playing stroke the flames as I'm trying to keep up in the arms race of adding power to your deck. You could also probably be fine adding
satyr firedancer to your decks as a hedge against increased aggro showing up in a "new" format. There's almost always one aggressive deck that for the last 4 months gained everything that it ever wanted(B/r zombies in delver standard was the best deck at the end of that format, Kibler gruul was excellent, tempered steel from WAY back was good).

As for potential new decks cropping up, while I again am hesitant to make guesses, green got a LOT of good cards so Kibler might have a punchers chance of being able to win something again. There's an actual ETB 2-4-1 creature in standard again in reclamation sage, there are 2 tutor effects, a powerful soul, etc.
