So what's the most undervalued card in M11?  I was shocked when I saw the price on this:

[c]Hoarding Dragon[/c]

Weighing in at little more than 53 cents, this card is an investment piece you can bank on.  Come on people!  The next block is Scars of Mirrodin!  You really think that there's not going to be some awesome artifacts begging for a tutor? 

Sure, the current standard doesn't feature much in the way of artifacts that you'd want to use a delayed tutor for, and the format is filled with exile type removal, but there's still a lot of potential in this card.

You know what'd be hilarious?  A deck built around [c]Hoarding dragon[/c], [c]Jinxed Idol[/c], and [c]Mitotic Slime[/c].  Throw in some [c]Elixir of Immortality[/c], a [c]Sprouting Thrynax[/c], and a [c]Bloodthrone Vampire[/c]

Wizards really has it out for mill.  As if it wasn't hard enough balancing mill per turn output around the requirements of staying alive in the face of vastly superior creatures, vicious burn, and counters, they have to include things like the Eldrazi, and [c=Elixir of Immortality]This Little Gem[/c].  Seriously, can't a miller get a break? 

Of course, how much you see of those cards depends almost entirely on how successful mill becomes.  The eldrazi are sometimes an exception, with polymorph - now mass polymorph - and eldrazi ramp seeing occasional use.

Here's my mill deck until Shards rotates:

4x [c]Archive Trap[/c]
4x [c]Trapmaker's Snare[/c]
4x [c]Path to Exile[/c]
4x [c]Roiling Terrain[/c]
4x [c]Ponder[/c]
4x [c]Lightning Bolt[/c]
3x [c]Reverberate[/c]
3x [c]Call to Mind[/c]
2x [c]Jace
