MTG Salvation

Just out of morbid interest, more than anything. We've already shaken hands on this one.

Pile A
Show and Tell
Foil Copperline Gorge

Pile B
Misty Rainforest
Arid Mesa
RTR Steam Vents
Grave Titan
Corpsejack Menace
2x Growing Ranks

I'm sending A and getting B. Not playing Legacy, and trying to get a full set of ten fetches for my cube before they become completely unaffordable. The bottom stuff in Pile B is essentially throw-ins for decks.

I still feel you came out a bit behind on this, although if you're going to be playing the cards you get, nothing beats that. I think the trade without the foil copperline would've been even.

Pile A

Savannah *NM*
Tropical Island *NM Front, SP Back


Pile B


3x Scalding Tarn
2x Misty Rainforest
1x Vendilion Clique
3x Seachrome Coast

Pile B


3x Scalding Tarn
2x Misty Rainforest
1x Vendilion Clique
3x Seachrome Coast

Tropical = 3x Scalding Tarn
Savannah = 2x Misty + 3 Coast.

Pile B is getting a VClique for almost free.

Good thing I didn't go for it then

Pile B. Fetches are more valuable. Take the thoughtseize if you need to use it though.

Definitely the fetches. The announcement of MM makes any pre-Alara staples risky.

Need an opinion on this one, I'd be getting Pile B

Pile A:
1 Jace, Architect of Thought
1 Volrath's Stronghold
1 Phyrexian Altar
1 Oracle of Mul Daya

Pile B:
4 Rancor
1 Thragtusk
1 Griselbrand
1 Garruk Relentless

I'd be weary of trading Volrath's Stronghold away from mostly standard fare.

It's tough to trade for and I don't see it going down anytime soon.

It's almost an autoinclude in any EDH deck that can pay B

i think you did fine. Fetches are getting harder and harder to come by. I would have done the trade.

agree.

stronghold is an edh staple and hard to find without shelling out cash... which is king as a magic trader.

A:
Marsh Flats

B:
Foil Unhinged Mountain

Foil Unhinged Mountains have higher value but if you're just going for utility then go for the marsh flats.

Couple of trades from tonight. What do you guys think?

Pile A
Prime Speaker Zegana

Pile B
Glacial Fortress (M12)
Rootbound Crag (M10)
Savra, Queen of the Golgari

Pile A
3 Deathrite Shaman

Pile B
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (FTV: Realms)
Kokusho, the Evening Star (CoK)
Path to Exile (Conflux)

Pile A (All RTR)

1 Temple Garden
1 Hallowed Fountain
1 Steam Vents
1 Blood Crypt


Pile B

1 Misty Rainforest

A seems more, but keep in mind, value-wise A goes down in DGM with how the lands are packed. I'd do B all day.

Thoughts on this?

A: Boros Reckoner

B: Geist of Saint Traft

Is Boros going up? Is GoST going down?

GoST any day. He sees modern and fringe legacy play and has already proved his value. Boros R. seems strong for now but its price will come back down sooner or later.

Pile B

1 Misty Rainforest

i'm fine with either. there is small premium which is reasonable

I have a really simple one. I'm just curious how you feel.

Pile A - Aurelia, the Warleader
the new Gideon (GTC)

Pile B - Boros Reckoner

I just wanted a 4th Reckoner without paying $20+.

Pile A - Boros Reckoner

Pile B - 2x Godless Shrine (GTC)

Values are about even. Curious which people would rather have?

I'd go with the boros reckoner, demand is going to skyrocket in the near future due to the fact that he is an automatic 4-of in aggro decks, godless shrine is not really run in as many decks

however, when standard rotates, reckoner isn't actually good, so get it, then sell in 2 months


Pile A- Deathrite Shaman, Tarnished Citadel

Pile B- Hallowed Fountain, Breeding Pool

i needed some duals for my modern deck, seemed like a pretty fair trade, because i'm not particularly seeing deathrite go up anymore? unsure though :L

Here's an interesting one:

Pile A:
Sylvan PrimordialFoil
Hellion Crucible

Pile B:
Sol Ring - Commander

Pile A

1 Genesis
1 Darksteel Forge (Planechase)
1 Hellkite Overlord
1 Sudden Spoiling
1 Swords to Plowshares (Ice Age)
2 Watery Grave
1 Vault of Whispers
1 Great Furnace
1 Tree of Tales
1 Volcanic Fallout (Conflux)
