MTGBlogger.com has always been a site that I visit myself to read about the current goings-on of Magic the Gathering, and while the content may seem a little lack-luster at times, overall the site is very well put together.
Here is a link to the article in question that I suggest you read if you are playing Standard right now, especially if you've been playing GB Dredge before Journey to Nyx was released:

While I'm certainly no expert on the Standard format, this deck does seem to pose a lot of versatile threats that make most decks in the format struggle for answers. U/W Control needs to find their Nth copy of Supreme Verdict to deal with most of our creatures (aside from Lotleth Troll), and the burn decks get stopped dead by cards like Sylvan Caryatid.
Shadowborn Demon stops all the big creatures in the format like Arbor Colossus, Stormbreath Dragon, and many more. I am a little surprised to see that this deck no longer runs any copies of Nemesis of Mortals, since it is such a big body for such a low investment.
However, above all else my favorite card in this deck is:
This deck already runs cards like Satyr Wayfinder and Grisly Salvage to fill your graveyard with dudes, so why not take advantage of that fact and bring them back to life every turn? On top of that your creatures all have Lifelink while it is on the battlefield, helping to stabilize your life total against decks like R/W Burn and Boss Sligh. In addition, it helps keep your deck wrath-proof against Supreme Verdict-style decks, and keeps you out of range of dying to cards like Aetherling.

Do you agree? This deck might just be bad, but if nothing else it sure looks fun!
