Pile B
1x Birds of Paradise
2x Birthing Pod
2x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (1x foil)
1x Steam Vents
I would take Pile B here, Geist is good but despite being Eternal-playable it will still suffer due to rotating out of Standard whereas the cards in Pile B are all pretty safe bets for Modern. Also, Foil Thalia is the real deal.
Pile A:
Boros Reckoner
Thalia
Pile B:
2x Deathrite Shaman
Pile B no question.
Pile A:
Misty Rainforest
FOIL Talrand
Pile B:
Thundermaw Hellkite
Pile A, I wouldn't even consider Misty for Thundermaw straight up.
anyone have thoughts on my trade up above? I haven't decided yet. i'm the one with the badlands
Thats tough. MM won't have Karn in it and if Tron keeps getting bigger the Karns will just go up. However I think the Badlands is the safer bet as people will always want ABUR Duals.
I'd definitely go with Pile A. I don't think Karn will grow a whole lot more since he just shot up to $30+ from around $10. It's really difficult to find NM duals, and the value is about even. Also consider that the dual is on the reserved list, while Karn has a decent chance to be reprinted (core set maybe?). We keep seeing these flavor of the month decks in modern so Karn is definitely the riskier side.
Yeah the trade feels a bit off mainly because of GoST, is this more even (removed Resto Angel)?
Pile A
1x Geist of Saint Traft
Pile B
1x Birds of Paradise
2x Birthing Pod
2x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (1x foil)
1x Steam Vents
Still thinking about it, it's hard lol.
Definitely get Pile B. Foil Thalia should be pretty good since she sees quite a bit of eternal play. Birthing Pod is pretty low right now and could jump since it's played quite a bit in Modern and is from New Phyrexia, which has started to see price rising (Karn).
Take Pile B all day. Boros Reckoner is on a huge bubble and will not stay at that level for an extended amount of time. Deathrite is undervalued considering how much eternal play he sees and will only go up.
Take Pile A and run. This is not close at all. Even excluding the Talrand I would never trade a Misty Rainforest or probably any fetchland for a Thundermaw Hellkite. It only sees standard play for the most part, and will either be reprinted or rotate from standard this fall. Either way, the price on hi, will drop. Fetchlands are always a hot commodity and will continue to creep up in value. The foil Talrand is a popular EDH card and should be worth a decent amount.

I would take Pile B. Karn Liberated is hot on the block and actually has a pretty low chance of being reprinted for quite some time. You are up on value and Karn is a very hot card right now.
Pile A:
3x Thragtusk
1x Cavern of Souls
1x Garruk, Primal Hunter
1x Rootbound Crag
1x Sunpetal Grove
Pile B:
1x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
I feel like this doesn't even need to be posted in this thread except for brags, snap take JTMS all day long.

Look at my name...what did you expect?
Thank you WOTC for introducing the Modern format, a format where all the whiners can enjoy a level playing field and where they can play with none of the best cards of all time!
Well, by SCG it's $101 on my half to the $100 of the JTMS.
Didn't realise the trade was that much in my favour simply by how awesome Jace is.
People are just reacting this way because of what each side entails...
Pile A:
3x Thragtusk (destined to tank on rotation or reprint in about 5 months)
1x Cavern of Souls (best card in the list value wise... should hold value well and even grow over time)
1x Garruk, Primal Hunter (solid card... but a core PW that is likely to see reprint at some point)
1x Rootbound Crag
1x Sunpetal Grove (2x M10 checklands... okay... good cards but they've been reprinted to death and will continue to be reprinted)
Pile B:
1x JTMS (one of the best cards ever printed that is very unlikely to be reprinted... and will only continue to go up)
There are very few people who wouldn't take the JTMS and run I believe. That's why people think you are bragging. It's true the values line up closely now... but pile B should grow over time... pile A is destined for a crash in value shortly and will likely grow slower over time).
Go with A. Clique is a likely reprint for MM some point and Jace is....Jace

Seems pretty even to me. Modern for Legacy seems like a good bet since we could see the Pile A cards in Modern Masters.

Yup, totally fine.
I enjoy hoarding fetches so I wouldn't personally make this trade, but this trade seems fine valuewise.
