If red aggro decks remain popular, we can make some predictions for decks after the release of Magic Origins - it also means the rotation of M15, at which Stoke the Flames, Foundry Street Denizen, Goblin Rabblemaster rotate from Standard. At that time, Monastery Mentor may take the place of Rabblemaster in token decks or Jeskai burn decks. Mentor may should be fine in RW burn decks. I think it's slower than Rabblemaster, if not, why people use the goblin instead of it?
If the aggro decks are slower after Magic Origins, I think Ugin has a chance to rise from its current level, maybe back to 18 tix (where it was before promo Ugin swept the market).
Blue based control decks use Ugin as one of the finishers. They are now struggling to survive in a standard full of creatures too fast for mass removal to take down or resisting these removals. Months later, they may see more plays and Dig Through Time may rise to around 3-4 tix and stay there before the rotation of KTK. But it may be reprinted anytime on MTGO.
Other decks frequently using Ugin are ramp decks. Dromoka's Command harms the function of Frontier Siege and Sheltered Aerie in ramp decks. Xenagos may come back as the 4 drop mana ramp card in GR decks again.
Dromoka's Command is hugely affecting Siege cards, Enchantment creatures and Theros God cards. I stopped collecting Outpost Siege but still keep buying Frontier Siege as it's just 0.02 - 0.05 tix now.
My recommendation for rared are: Thunderbreak Regent, Dig Through Time, Rattleclaw Mystic, End Hostilities, Haven of the Spirit Dragon, Den Protector.
The reasons are explained in my other articles.
I will keep this article up to date til the release of Magic Origins. Good luck to you all!
