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.
I would take Liliana here over the Languish. She's worth $20 right now and potentially retain value if played in standard. Prerelease Languish is around $12-17 according to eBay completed listings. You're ahead by a few bucks taking pile B.
Pile B Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (ROE)

Pile A Thragtusk
There are a couple cards in Pile A that have potential, but Emrakul is a known quantity and seems really good here against what's likely new cards on a prerelease high.
Depends what version of Tron. If it's the AQ originals, I'd keep them. If it's anything else, especially Chronicles, I'd take Pile B. Pile B is weak mythics and a possibly modern-playable rare, Pile A is the core of a modern deck. Eventually, they'll put Tron in Modern Masters or an Event Deck.
Pile B:
Cryptic Command (MM2015)
Celestial Colonnade (Japanese, I think)
I kinda need pile B for my deck; however, I wonder if there is more room in pile A to grow. Should I keep the Fastlands and Manland? What do you think, guys?

I have the Snapcaster (1 of 5) and need the Command for my modern deck and potentially the Shadow of Doubt for the sideboard. The fetches completed my playsets as well so that was a feel good thing. Was it a good trade? Snapcaster seems to be stabilizing at about $82 and doesn't even sell for that much.

Looks to be a fine trade, especially if those cards are what you need/finishes playsets. Personally I'd aim for different cards other than the fetches (my own personal priorities -- and because of this, PERSONALLY I'd probably keep the Snapcaster; with a card that high and hot, I try to aim for Wastelands or like, Goyfs/Confidants. That's just what I want/need).
That being said, the fetches aren't bad to trade into at their current price. And Cryptics aren't getting any lower either. So it seems like a fine deal.
I don't necessarily think Snapcaster's price is super-warranted -- in that it's not selling for that price...not really. With that said, it IS seeing play a massive ton, so its price being high isn't unsurprising.

I guess I'll take a crack at this one since no one has replied yet. I really like the Ugin in Pile B at this point. Enemy fetchlands are still a reprint possibility and will keep people from hoarding them until we know for sure if they will/not be reprinted. That means the door is still open for them and Marsh Flats isn't the most popular fetch anyway. Ugin is going to remain an EDH staple because he's colorless, more so than Karn I believe. I think his price right now is pretty stable since FRF is out of the draft cycle too.

I think this one is really, really close but more as a speculative close. Gifts Ungiven and Life from the Loam have been on the rise recently albeit very slowly. Gifts has never broken top tier in Modern and it could be a matter of time until it does. However the FTV Gifts is keeping the booster foils in check for now. I think Loam is being influenced by Legacy but there's a small chance that the Return to Zendikar sets will be land focused. If we see a new land cycle being introduced for BFZ (like cycling lands), I expect Loam to take off in Modern. Loam has actually quietly doubled in price since KTK was released. Remember Loam was a $15 before the Duel Deck reprint in RTR. However, there's no doubt in my mind Cryptic will go back up in due time. So take your pick. Personally, I would take the Cryptic especially if you need it for a deck.
TLDR: Pile A is better if you want speculative high risk, Pile B is better if you want low risk.

Yep. It does matter which versions you're talking about though. Foil Gifts Ungiven from Modern Masters was $10 the last time I checked while the Kamigawa one was closer to $15. Now it may have changed in the last 3 months since I checked it, but it does make a difference in Kamigawa vs. MM, Ravnica vs. ? for the Life from the Loam, and MM, MM2015, or Lorwyn for the Cryptic, although I suspect the last one doesn't matter quite as much.

No problem, given the additional information about card versions I think Pile B is the clearer choice. The card to watch out for is Loam but it's not guaranteed that it will spike. I'm just looking at trends and giving my insight should Zendikar pan out to be a lands matter theme again.
Looks fairly good but I'm not sure the $10 is needed in B2. Jace and Nissa are fairly even right now and that FNM path would make up the difference quite easily.

It looks pretty even. I personally prefer the lands, as I usually do unless there is some reason that they will go down in the near future. Pile A for me.

Norin the Wary, Grimgrin, Adun Oakenshield (taking forever to build)(dead format for me)If you need the skites or the mage take b otherwise take a,both will likely go up but like foodchain I prefer the lands.

Pile A:
Gifts Ungiven x2
Gifts Ungiven (foil)
Life from the Loam
Pile B:
Cryptic Command
Pretty sure I go with Pile B here, right?
I think this one is really, really close but more as a speculative close. Gifts Ungiven and Life from the Loam have been on the rise recently albeit very slowly. Gifts has never broken top tier in Modern and it could be a matter of time until it does. However the FTV Gifts is keeping the booster foils in check for now. I think Loam is being influenced by Legacy but there's a small chance that the Return to Zendikar sets will be land focused. If we see a new land cycle being introduced for BFZ (like cycling lands), I expect Loam to take off in Modern. Loam has actually quietly doubled in price since KTK was released. Remember Loam was a $15 before the Duel Deck reprint in RTR. However, there's no doubt in my mind Cryptic will go back up in due time. So take your pick. Personally, I would take the Cryptic especially if you need it for a deck.
TLDR: Pile A is better if you want speculative high risk, Pile B is better if you want low risk.

Yep. It does matter which versions you're talking about though. Foil Gifts Ungiven from Modern Masters was $10 the last time I checked while the Kamigawa one was closer to $15. Now it may have changed in the last 3 months since I checked it, but it does make a difference in Kamigawa vs. MM, Ravnica vs. ? for the Life from the Loam, and MM, MM2015, or Lorwyn for the Cryptic, although I suspect the last one doesn't matter quite as much.

Norin the Wary, Grimgrin, Adun Oakenshield (taking forever to build)(dead format for me)The foil is Ftv: Exiled. The two regular gifts are MM, I think. Though one of them might've been Kamigawa. Loam is the Duel Deck. And Cryptic is Modern Masters 2015.

Norin the Wary, Grimgrin, Adun Oakenshield (taking forever to build)(dead format for me)No problem, given the additional information about card versions I think Pile B is the clearer choice. The card to watch out for is Loam but it's not guaranteed that it will spike. I'm just looking at trends and giving my insight should Zendikar pan out to be a lands matter theme again.
