Prophet is just insane-o in EDH. I would hold on to foil copies like winning lottery tickets. I've been snapping up non-foils whenever someone offers one to me at bulk rare value.
I've totally been snap trading for certain foils from the past few sets aka prophet of kruphix, progenitor mimic, etc. Definitely worthwhile at such low prices!
Are you guys expecting this card to be worth more than $20? Seems odd that you say foil copies should be treated like winning the lottery...
Don't accept that low value on your staples. While I agree Geist will rise, it could be a slow crawl and your cards are already worth 50+ each. Don't accept 2/3 value unless you absolutely need to. There is no reason for someone to lowball you that way. But, if you need it and fear a large spike, then you have a choice to make. Just remember, Geist is pretty much limited to Modern at the moment because of TNN, so it's light is vastly diminished in Legacy. This could change but it's not really a good meta for Geist at the moment.
Amazing insight. This is why I love this forum. Thanks again bokchoy! I will go with the karn
That was my thought as well. Karn stuff is spiking hard and I made the decision to not play it, so moving my staples for stuff is fine. I can't see GotB going up more, but saying that watch it hit $50
Appreciate the opinion!
@emleeyeh19
Two geists still doesn't equal a karn or a noble, you want to get at least 3 geists if your making that trade
Appreciate it yea I was looking for three but he wouldn't budge. I read on the forums that geist is likely to spike and now was the best time to get em, so I figured two wouldn't b so bad...karn looks like he's steadily rising as well tho
Pile A
Misty Rainforest
Jace, TMS
Scavenging ooze x2
Academy Ruins
Pile B
3x FTV Grove of the Burnwillows
2x Phyrexian Obliterator
Jace is still dropping, both Grove and Misty are hot and the other stuff is what it is.....
I can't give a logical reason why, but my gut says that B is REALLY over valued on the market right now. I would take A. Fetch + Jace is almost an auto take these days. Of course potential use sways this one way or the other.

do you think the combo of liquimetal coating works here tho, or is this deck trying to do too mucH?
any pieces you would replace to help make it more efficient?
You have some nice cards there, all I had in the beginning was my Azorius Ascendant pre-constructed deck and 3 boosters
First of all, when you build a deck you have to think how you gonna win with it, by the cards listed we can go with some sort of Midrange or Control strategy.
Some cards listed doesn't fit this strategy or are cards focused to beat certain strategies (Sideboard cards like Rest in Peace and Stony Silence).
Look at Crusader of Odric, this is a card that works better with creatures, but you only have 9 creatures in your entire deck! Any decent and focused aggro deck run at least 20 creatures. Well, enough talk!
Every new card that I listed are very budget friendly, you can find the Sphinx of Jwar Isle for less than a dollar! The plan is very simple, this is a control deck, control the board, stall the game, slap a Sphinx and go for the win! Some cards you listed are very aggro oriented, like Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Brave the Elements and Crusader of Odric. Others were just subpar, you have better chances with counterspells that can deal with almost everythink like Mana Leak and Rewind and removal spells like Far // Away and Day of Judgment.
Best of luck!
Amazing, I will see how this deck goes!
I really appreciate your help, and maybe I will private message you when I try it out and see how it does?
So basically what i'm trying to do with this deck, is hit mycosinth and counter as long as possible, then just destroy all permanents with my artifcat destructo's lol. What do you guys think?
So I was selling my tarmogoyf and the potential buyer was saying that it won't go higher than 170 bcuz he knows mm2 will b released this year...
I asked how he knew, and he said a close friend played atThe Super Series at WOtC... Now is that reasonable to believe?

Thanks for the tip! It's either karn or two geist of saint trafts..
