Overall good article. Just wondering why there are no dredge creatures? No faster way to fill a grave then with Stinkweed Imp. Here's a fun list off the top of my head:
I did see both of the planeswalkers have both fallen. I think they are okay buys but I see some risks which do give me pause.
1) They have been on a slow decline for some time since their release so I could see them stabilizing and starting a slight incline but not sure I see any reason why they would spike.
2) They are really only standard cards, I never see them in other formats. This isn't a deal breaker but being used in other formats can help.
That said, they are both mythics which hold value and are still used in std tourney decks even after FRF. If you do buy my guess at worst they hold value which a chance to slowly increase over time.
i personally waste way too much money on this game and i have never had a problem with any bot, ever. honestly if i had to trade card for card with real humans, i probably wouldn't even play online. i have been playing paper since ice age, and trading card for card with individuals is nearly impossible. thats why brick and mortar card shops popped up in the 90s. bots are the digital equivalent of card shops. almost every bot i have ever seen used has prices very similar to MTGO traders, goldfish, etc. if people don't know the prices of their cards, and also don't realize there are scores of resources to price your assets, maybe they should look up the definition of the word "collectable" in collectable card game... or maybe have their parents monitor their allowance better. i don't mean to sound insulting or combative, but i was shocked to see someone so against bots... and what i feel is a wonderfully versatile and accessible online card market.
May I ask you a question. Do you believe that now is a good time to buy Sarkahn the Dragon Speaker given that is has fallen to approx 8 tickets, and Sorin the Solemn Visitor given that he has fallen to approx 9 tickets.
Both of these cards were soaring high during the last 3 months, but now they have both fallen down to the earth. Do you believe there is a strong chance that they will both shoot up during the next 1 year of Standard season?
What is there to practice vs burn?
Pick one of the following.
1. gain life before/on turn 3, effectively countering some burn.
2. counterspell some burn
3. kill faster than they can burn (good luck)
4. get burned to death
The burn matchup is as close as you can get to goldfishing without actually goldfishing..
You aren't playing against the burn player, you are playing against RNG.
Muddle is an interesting choice, but there are a number of strikes against it:
1) It doesn't hit Journey to Nowhere/Oubliette, which are rather good against this deck.
2) It costs UU to transmute or to cast, which is onerous on this mana base.
The deck should run at least 2 if not 4 Muddle the mixture since its only reanimation spell is exhume and sometimes all four exhumes will be in the bottom twenty cards. Probably switch with think twice or negate.
The reason it might not be working for you is the reason why most of the wizards.com site is inaccessible to certain people. They have an auto login system that moves you to a login page if you are logged in elsewhere on the site. Really piss poor programming that but not really surprising, considering the larger picture.
Personally I've just given up on trying to view pages on wizards.com unless they are the forum which for some reason does not behave in this obstructive and annoying manner.
Want to get your hands on cards from the Ugin’s Fate booster packs on Magic Online? Players will be getting their chance during the Magic Online Fate Reforged Prerelease and Release Events!"
Of course they should have done more to inform and inform more accurately. First they semi-announce Ugin's Fate to reveal later absence of Ugin himself. Of course it's unacceptable
Vaultboy, that link you posted doesn't even work. Please do your research better in the future.
In any case, even if that link was live at one time, Wizards should have done more to inform us. I didn't see it and probably a tonne of others didn't see it.
Monk can easily win Regular events now. They haven't been played there so far only because Monk players (especially romellos) used to play them in Underdog, then played something else in Regular.

Overall good article. Just wondering why there are no dredge creatures? No faster way to fill a grave then with Stinkweed Imp. Here's a fun list off the top of my head:
4 Dismal Backwater
4 Evolving Wilds
4 Island
4 Swamp
4 Terramorphic Expanse
4 Brainstorm
4 Careful Study
4 Duress
4 Owl Familiar
4 Exhume
4 Dragon Breath
4 Compulsive Research
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Gurmag Angler
4 Ulamog’s Crusher
Brainstorm + Sac lands works with Stinkweed Imp, as does Compulsive Research.
Thanks Dwarven.

I like bots.
hi Nabil,

Thanks for the guidance.
I will be posting the winner in this week's article!
This article is very helpful and interesting
Thanks Scion. I enjoyed watching these videos.

four years later, I find this while researching for an article on BUG Delver. Sweet.
Hey you did not add a game against burn! I assume this deck haven't face a burn deck. Are you gonna try it in PCT? See you there.
I used to have travel preparations, I'd prefer Howl because it is an instant and you can respond to electrickery with it.

Looks like twin is still a contender after all!
That's what I said...
His link works fine, you are having a problem with the wizards site.

The biggest issue IMO was that they announced Ugin's Fate cards before prereleases even started:
http://magic.wizards.com/en/MTGO/articles/archive/magic-online/magic-onl...
This link was even accessible in MTGO on home screen.
Do your research in the future better Jahn.
Easily seems like a bit of an exaggeration considering how hard it is for ANY deck to win.
Monk can easily win Regular events now. They haven't been played there so far only because Monk players (especially romellos) used to play them in Underdog, then played something else in Regular.
Thanx- Great to know my favourite format lives; too bad The schedule is working time here in Europe. Anyway, will they my best to find dass off
