Yeah, Taiga easy. Revelation won't be worth much at all post rotation. Huntmaster could retain some value, but you should definitely take Taiga as long as it's not just horrific condition and even then maybe still take it.
I would take B, although it might see a reprint soon in Modern Masters, it will still probably stay north of $30. Wouldn't surprise me if GTC shocks stayed a little more expensive than RTR shocks, but right now I think they are high so trade looks good.
How about this one? I opened a foil Breeding pool last night and traded it for three regular shocklands.
Pile A:
1x FOIL breeding pool
Pile B:
1x Breeding Pool
1x Sacred Foundry
1x Godless Shrine
I don't actually play standard, but I like to collect the shocks, and perhaps use them as building blocks the next time I want to make a casual deck. However, I'm starting to wonder if I should have held onto foil breeding pool because it might go up in value long term due to its rarity and due to things like EDH. I also worry the prices of regular shocks may be stagnant in the long term if wizards keeps reprinting them every few years.
What do you guys think of:
A
4 Deathrite Shaman
1 Marsh Flats (LP)
For
B
2 Misty Rainforest
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
A. more room to grow. Fetches will be reprinted in <5 years.

I just want people who redraft to admit this:
"I can't draft objectively unless I am able to guarantee that I receive at least 3 rares. I am also better than most average/new players so I want to make sure that I get the best rares and they end up with worse ones. I care more about the monetary value of cards than actually playing the game for decent prizes."
you guys think its a bad idea to trade domri rade for gtc shocklands since they are getting reprinted in the next set? I saw that domri rade was used in some of the top 16 decks this weekend.
Pile B
Godless Shrine x2 GTC
Gideon, Champion of Justice
I hope you're getting pile A. Foil Deathrite is near enough to $45, while Gideon is already down to $13 on tcgplayer, and godless shrine are a little less than that. Even if a third Godless Shrine was added, I don't think I'd go for it.
Pile A
2 Restoration Angel $32
4 Sunpetal Grove $22.5
$54.5
Pile B
1 Domri Rade $22
1 Aurelia, the Warleader $21.65
1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride $10.95
$54.6
I'm definitely jumping on B here. While the numbers match up, I can't honestly see anyone willing to trade a Domri Rade for 4 Sunpetals, and Resto angels at $16 each seems a bit high to me. Although I do recognize that Domri and Aurelia have the most room to fall since they are brand new, they also have the most potential since they are untested, for the most part.
Pile A
2 Restoration Angel $32
4 Sunpetal Grove $22.5
$54.5
Pile B
1 Domri Rade $22
1 Aurelia, the Warleader $21.65
1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride $10.95
$54.6
Domri and Ajani are the only two I see rising in this pile. I don't see Aurelia doing anything except crashing. And I'm not sure about Domri.
Grove will likely remain stable and moveable as GW/X decks seem popular. Angel will also remain stable and possibly increase as it sees more play.

I think I'd rather have the Deathrites - at least Inquisition and Duress are inferior substitutes, and Thoughtseize looks primed for a MM reprint. That, and this is generally the low point in a Standard card's value cycle.

I personally like the foil shock better here. I think if you are patient the shocks have a lot of room to grow.

I see the old versions holding up after DGM, and Seer should be a fun card/easy to trade soon.

I'll take A because the fetch is eminently more playable than the Sword, and the Rhystic is cheap enough to not really factor in.

SCM and Geist will always be solid and I have a feeling that FaF will spike soon when people realize how good it is in EDH.

Have to go for the four Deathrite Shaman here as I don't think Thoughtseize's value will ever get much higher than it is now.
