I think UR Delver should be nerfed (bannings incoming). When it gets the right draw it doesn't make playing against it fun. Sure that's magic but it gets the god draw too often for my liking.
A all the way. Snap has lots of solid value where mentor will go either way.
Mentor is a card thats the quintessential three mana army in a can or more p/t than he is costed manawise at. Geist, rabblemaster, and brimaz fit this ticket but proved only geist can see any real play. I am skeptical, especially since he cost three as oppossed to 2 mana.

I'd not only take B in a heartbeat, but I'd have to contain my excitement at making such a great trade long enough to not have the other guy want to cancel the trade. I would definitely not want to have pile A; shocks and fetches are nice, but I just couldn't see myself giving up an original dual unless I was getting way more for it than I would have any right to.
Not really a prospective trade, but more of a "I don't know what to do with my PucaPoints right now..."
I Want the library in a relatively decent (not pristine NM) shape, but I might actually be able to put the Flusterstorm set to use in Legacy, assuming I ever end up somewhere where Legacy is played more than once every six months.

They are pretty similar in price, so it's really up to you. I feel like Library of Alexandria will never go down. Flusterstorm Promo is probably not too likely to go down either. I personally don't think that Flusterstorm is too useful in Legacy, but you have to consider the decks that I play. I myself have 2 Judge Promos and I've never used the card. (I've had it in the SB of Shardless, but never drew it; maybe I should put 2?) I think that you can definitely do without them if you need. But if you really need them to protect your combo or protect you from combo, then I would go with that pile.

This was a trade based on hype prices. I believe that Ugin will drop to a lower point than the combined total of Grand Master and Heath; the siege was mostly a cherry on top. However, I was wondering if this trade (already happened) was more beneficial to me or them.
I dig it. The cards you traded for the Volc looks like complete junk outside of Windswept Heath and Thoughtseize. Elspeth is getting reprinted and is mainly standard (can't see it retaining that much value). Coasts and Temple are nice for standard, but that's about it it seems. Packs will be packs. Just the lotto. I'm ok with this trade. I'm personally not big on alters though, but that's just me.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Trade 1, I'd probably take the Priest. Trade 2, definitely the pile with the dual land. I (and many others) expect a reprint of Leyline of Sanctity soon, probably in Modern Masters 2015. Even if it isn't, Modern staple -> Revised Dual = good.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.

If you play 4 you'll just die with 2 in your hand more often than not.
You made the right call. Soulfire Grand Master only costs 2 mana. That bodes well even if I don't know how good it is yet.
