Thoughts on this trade? I just finished building UB Control so I figure I won't need the Caryatids and Nissas anytime soon. But I don't really need either pile, so.
Please..please...take pile B.

+1 Roland does 1 damage to up to 6 target creatures, players or plainswalkers.
-2 Roland twirls a bullet casing. Tap all opponents creatures.
-11 Reset life totals to 20 x the number of activations of this ability. Begin a new game shuffling all cards into owners decks except for Roland who remains in play.
That's tough because Cruise has pulled the rug out from Bob's playability in eternal formats ... Decks that have the option of both are playing Cruise as a better option, and decks that can play Bob but not Cruise are severely disadvantaged against Cruise decks. But once Cruise gets banned in either Modern or Legacy, that trade starts looking a lot better.
Bottom line is, you gotta be willing to wait for those Bobs to do good work for you. The card just isn't good in Cruise formats. With the (safe) assumption that Cruise won't stay universally legal though, I like that trade a lot.

I'm always looking for foil Madcap Skills and Ghitu Fire-Eater, [trade thread link forthcoming]
Yeah, that's what I had originally thought. But, like you said, Cruise will probably end up getting the hammer. Plus, there is some speculation surrounding Cryptic Command in the Teferi C14 deck, after Profane Command was confirmed. Either way, I thought the trade was fair, and I was looking to getting into GBx for modern.

Oh..... I guess I made a bad trade then.
I didn't think it was so bad because I was trading up and a lot of those cards weren't on the reserve list. But I don't know now..
aside from the standard junk, which didnt look like it accounted for much i wouldnt have valued your cards at lower prices. Forces and other staples along with high end promos arent really things that depreciate.

The only way to know for sure if this card carries the premium is if you would kindly post a picture for us to see.

If the quality is good enough the trade is fair.
Thanks, I feel a little better. I know it's not a PSA10, or even an 8, but I think it's pretty good compared to a lot of the tabs I've seen. Here are some pics I took just now:
The quality of that card is truly stunning. Most Tabernacles I've seen are a bit beat up but still fetching over $500.
Giving up those Forces and the Cradle is tough but I think you might have got a good deal. If you only count the reserved cards you traded it's about fair.

It's true - I really like your Tabernacle. It's a really tough call here but I think you did OK.

Is treasure cruise supposed to be foil? Treasure cruise, Ghost Quarter, and Slaughter games are under $1 in total. Sacred Foundry and Bloodstained Mire vary greatly in value depending on what set they're from and if they're foil. This applies to Teferi as well. I believe you would get a more accurate evaluation if you posted the specifications of each card.
The only way I'd take this deal is if almost everything here was foil. You would be doing OK in value if you were trading two confidants instead of three. But even then, confidants are a high-value item that people are reluctant to trade away, like tarmogoyf.
For some reason, Korean Ancient Tomb is listed as $70+ on ebay. Serra's Sanctum is legacy-playable and on the reserve list, but there aren't too many people looking for them. I think Pile A is getting the better deal value-wise, but Pile B has Stocking Tiger, which is essentially on the reserve list and hard to come by in trades/LGS. Hope that helps!
Please..please...take pile B.
