About a month ago, I made a ramp deck with Ugin and posted here. It may look a far cry from the one in GP Sevillie 2015, but at least they both have Nissa, Whisperwood Elemental, and the mightly Ugin.
After reading the GP coverage, I started to buy in Ugin at around 17-18 for short term profit. I have the following points:
1. Triple Fate Reforged draft ends today.
2. There is a Standard GP this weekend.
3. MTGO Standard Pro Tour Qualifier Preliminaries starts this week.
4. Ugin is in UB control and Green Ramp. They make up around 10% of the meta.
5. UB control may use more than 2 copies of Ugin as finisher against decks full of Thoughtseize, Heros Downfall and Utter End.
But there isn't no uncertainty for the move:
1. Brimaz was also the top card in the second set, it didn't rise the week after prerelease. Instead, it dropped a lot.
2. Ugin 's mana cost is huge. It's hard to be used in other decks except Ramp and UB control.
3. Ugin isn't so popular in Modern. Cards not seeing play in massive Modern decks usually don't rise significantly in the first month after release. (examples: Eidolon of the Great Revel, Keranos, God of Storms)
