Ok, so I'm not completely sure what cards I should try to get rid of and which cards I should hang on to. For example, I traded away Ancestral Vision back when it was 10 bucks, now it's a $40-50 card two months later. So should I trade away or keep my:
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
Thing in the Ice
Ob Nixilis Reignited
Drana, Liberator of Malakir
Dark Petition
Through the Breach
Collected Company
Den Protector
Thought-Knot Seer
Pyromancer's Goggles
Thoughtseize
Promo Languish, Sin Prodder, Sphinx of the Final Word, and Desolation twin
SOI, BFZ and OGW Dual Lands
If you are not playing in standard, get rid of anything worth money. Except Collected Company, that is modern playable. It depends very much on what you play.
Yeah, as PKR said, most of the standard cards will drop as soon as they rotate out of standard. Unless it stumbles into a successful deck somewhere, standard heroes typically never get tons of value, or lose it almost immediately post rotation. Dark Petition is probably worth keeping hold of because it's seeing some play in legacy ANT decks, and just spiked in value. Thoughtseize, Through the Breach, Collected company will all retain value because they're being played in modern, and won't be banned.
Ancestral Vision was at the time a $10-15 card because it was banned in the one format that could make good use out of it, but once it was unbanned the price skyrocketed with demand.
So I should probably ship all the Standard cards that I'm not currently using except for Dark Petition and Collected Company, and hang on to my Modern staples?
Sounds like a good idea. I agree with those above me. Do you play any "casual" formats? If so you may wanna keep some of the stuff you like that would fit in a kitchen table deck.
Good advice from the posters here. For me it all depends on what I want to play. If there is a really expensive card that I have and might play I usually sell or trade it while it's Standard legal. But if I know I'm going to play it I'll keep it. But it all depends on what you play and if you want to potentially re-buy or trade for something again later.
Don't let the Ancestral Visions thing bother you, it happens to all of us.
I don't think I'll be using any of these cards in Standard, I'm probably going to do mono-white humans. I'll get to shipping the cards I can't use in Standard as soon as possible. Thank you all for your help!
