I'd ask you why you want Liliana of the Dark Realms at all... I'd say don't do it unless you want a card that'll be $8 in a month or two... While snappy will be $20+ for a long time, if not forever.
I disagree that Liliana of the Dark Realms foil will be $8 in a short period of time. She does see some play, and look at Ajani Goldmane's Lorwyn foil... he rarely saw play. That's STILL at $10.
Current SCG Prices (which many stores use)
Snapcaster $20'
$10
Liliana of the Dark Realms (foil) $60
I'd do it and trade it for 3 Snappys, lol.

Lilli is only playable in standard at most, while snapcaster is a eternal card, seeing play in modern and legacy as well as standard. Once Innistrad goes out of print he will shoot way up im sure. So no, dont waste 10 dollars and snappy on a foil standard planeswalker.
You might be getting a "deal" at the moment....but that can change drasticly over time..
For instance I once traded 2 koth and a Venser, sojourner for 4 wastelands...at the time I was giving up 10-20 in value. Check current prices and see how it worked out long term.
Lili 3 is going to fall and fall hard, unless RTR gives us cards that care about mono black ramping she will remain an edh only card. I can't see her foil stabalizing over 20

I would never trade snapcaster for liliana. As others said he sees play in every format and will only go up. Liliana sees barely any play at all and will drop a lot.

I agree with the above, if you are planning on trying to flip the Liliana then it is an ok trade, otherwise Liliana is going to fall.
Liliana Foil $35 (and falling)
Snapcaster Mage $17
$10
So you are up a few dollars now, but I would rather have the Snapcaster side, and honestly might even make that trade. I think Liliana will be hard to flip.
I would not do it unless you have a Foil Liliana trade set up that is extremely profitable. Liliana of the Dark Realms is the weakest Liliana, and barely playable. Foils are nice, but they a niche market and you could easily be looking at holding that card for a long time, while the value plummets. Plus, 10.00 could be spent on something good...
I would only do it if you are an experienced trader and you know you can move the Lili immediately. You can lose the Snapcaster if you can make back your investment threefold or even twofold flipping the Lili into staples, but if you're picking it up for something else or just aren't 100% certain you can get rid of it, I would pass. The deal may seem great now, but you'll kick yourself in a month or two if you're still holding onto that Liliana.
