I have a few hundred in store credit to burn; I know that there's the risk that she falls out of favor or gets reprinted, but at the same time, there's the possible upside that she could go up to several hundred like JTMS foils were before FTV20...

It's a decent buy. I'd normally try to get it for a little less ($170 or so) if it was actual cash, but store credit is always worth less than cash, so it's not a bad idea. I'd go for it if you didn't have anything better to get.
For a single Damnation that sounds ok, that's inbetween TCG Low/Mid. May be able to get them a little bit lower. But 2x Damnation you can get $40-45 on eBay

Hey guys, looking for extra money for cards?
I do it with CashCrate and Swagbucks. Get paid to complete surveys, offers, and other online tasks. Refer friends and family to get even more money. It may not be a lot, but it adds up while messing around on the computer. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I'll help the best I can.
From the Vaults: Twenty (brand new) at $160. There are four in stock at my local game store. Buy?
Depends on why you are buying it honestly. My LGS for example has it for 150, but I still find that too high. If you just want a jace you can get ti for far less, and the rest of the stuff really isn't worth all that much.

Full cycle of foil swords - Rahn art (Scars block pack foils / Modern masters). $200 - Buy?

I'd buy that pretty fast if I had the cash. But again, the higher the price gets on cards, the more of a deal you can find on them.

It's a good price, considering that buying just the modern masters foils normally costs more than $200 for just the pair. If you really need em, then go for it. The main issue is that the price is really inflated for those swords, and they're subsequently not very easy to move.

There's many a great deal cheaper on Ebay, as low as $100. On another site I picked up a number for $100 each. ATM $160 is way to much, even if all of the the stuff inside is worth ~$160 or more.
I am going to go out on a limb and say not really. Low tcg is a bit lower and the card continues to drop daily. My thoughts are to hold off and see where this card ends up.
With more Thero's versions being dumped into the supply chain, the price should still free fall further.
If you need the card immediately, the price is OK, but I think in time you will see that you could have purchased it for a lower price.
Seems like a decent price, I'm just concerned about a possible Modern ban in the (near?) future.
i would try and get the person to come down a bit, like $55 each. you can get them on tcg for $55-60. i had a foil deathrite that i traded for some legacy stuff, if i could afford to buy cards i would get me a playset of these simply cause i think they will be pretty expensive in the future. kinda like foil snapcasters.

It seems to me that the thinking that there is the possibility that DRS will be banned is silly. To really be considered for banning a card has to really mess up or dominate the format it's getting banned in. To ban a card you'd want for it's removal to cause some sort of change, like killing a really sick deck. What would removing DRS from a deck really accomplish? DRS is a really good support card, but by itself it isn't winning you any games. If decks playing DRS are a problem then they'll remove something that is most like to balance the format by stopping or the deck or making it possible for those decks to be beaten.
In a year foil DRS will be +$90 minimum. Rotation won't touch it's price, or at least not much since it isn't played in standard. It's just going to be a year out of print then and harder to come by unless it gets reprinted.
I agree. I'd buy every day of the week and twice on Sunday for $60; I fully expect that foil DRS will be $100 within a year, as it is a proven 4-of staple in both Modern and Legacy and really doesn't see any Standard play; no one is picking up the foils for Standard, so I don't see any reason for the price on the foils to fall because of rotation.
Foil Snapcasters are 85-90 right now, and DRS is probably seeing even more play in Modern and Legacy that Snapcaster is. I see absolutely no reason why the price would go down, barring a massive reprint. Modern PTQ season will certainly cause a spike in the price. Only question is: by how much?

She (he? it?) is solid, but relatively narrow; she sees play, but only in a handful of decks, and never as more than a 2-3 of; it's not a case like J,AoT where everyone is playing 3-4 copies if they are U/x/x. Assuming that you don't intend to play Ashiok in Standard, selling it at that price is far from a bad proposition.

I'd pass. She's not really seeing a whole lot of play in either Standard or Modern, and you can get them on TCGPlayer for 16. Rather, I'd be trying to buy foil ones if I can get them under 40, as the casual and EDH crowd really loves their foil angels. Same reason why cards like Twilight Shepherd and Adarkar Valkyrie are crazy money in foil but only a few dollars in non-foil. Just give it some time.

2x Foil English Theros Thoughtsieze for $50. Foil legacy staples tend to shoot up in price over time, but I'm afraid the price on these these will tank after they rotate out of standard.

I'd pass on the Coldsnap, bought one a couple years ago for 40 less and was dissappointed. If you want to draft it though it might be alright.
The Thoughtseize, if it is NM, I would probably take, but it is the upper limit of what I want to spend on one. It is only for a cube though.
NM Snap do it. SP I'd still snap do it. MP foils aren't very desirable so it's more debatable, but I'd still probably do it.
