i want to make a new version of the old owling mine as a kitchen table list so nothing expensive... like dirt cheap.

i've been away fromt he game for 9 years and my first set back was eldraine... i feel like there's a chance i can make a dumb deck that wins with ebony owl netsuke again am looking for any help

thank you

Howling mine is $4 card so it might be hard to make the deck dirt cheap. But something that came out a few years ago is Howling Golem theres also Temple Bell. I think some type of turbo Fog strategy might not be a bad place to start

Howling Mine+ Stasis + Forsaken City. Use Stasis to lock everyone down and draw extra cards with Howling Mine to pitch to Forsaken City to be able to pay Stasis upkeep cost every upkeep. Fun times

Fevered Visions does the work of both Howling Mine and Ebony Owl Netsuke efficiently, so that could be copies 5-8 of Ebony Owl. You could pair it with tap cards in blue like Exhaustion and burn effects in red like Fateful Showdown, Gaze of Adamaro, and Runeflare Trap.

There's also good ol' Black Vise.

If you're playing kitchen table magic, an old Modernn Owling Mine deck will work great. I would splash red for Runeflare Trap and Fevered Visions and play 4 Howling Mine, 2-4 Temple Bell, 2 Dictate of Kruphix alongside the 4 Fevered Visions for your draw engine. Then play the usual bounce spells (Boomerang/Eye of Nowhere/maybe Wipe Away), Unsubstantiate in place of Remand, Exhaustion, and Gigadrowse. Vision Skeins is a useful card as well.

I played this deck till I wrecked my sleeves in standard. When my old team made me play modern I rebuilt it off of Jeff Hoogland's version. I think if you can find the videos that's the way to go.

@smackjack - Stasis + Rising Waters is an easier Stasis lock (granted your opponents' also get to untap 1 land).

I feel like there's some potential for Owling Mine between Unwinding Clock and Folio of Fancies.
