so I am thinking about upgrading some of my edh decks and am having a hard time deciding which option to go with OPTION 1: would be to buy Gavern Cairns, Rugged Prairle,Godless shrine, blood crypt, fetid Heath, Purphoros god of the forge, Exquisite Blood. all would these will be for my edgar deck mainly want to get rid of the tapped lands. OPTION 2: Blightsteel Colossus, Kozilek butcher of truth. which would go in my Kamahal or neheb the eternal decks. I enjoy all of my decks but can't decide.
What would you like to consider in our advice to you?
I would say that it is a pretty good time to get shocklands. They were just reprinted. I would think the price will continue to drop for a little bit but should be close to the bottom now.
Graven Cairns is the cheapest of the cycle, so I think it is more justifiable. I believe Praire and Heath are more expensive because of a lack of reprints. I am hoping these lands will be printed in a future standard set.
Kozilek and Blightsteel are hard to judge because they will only ever be printed in supplemental sets. They are unlikely to become cheap though, as they are both iconic cards. Kozilek was recently reprinted so I think the price is unlikely to go down much with another printing. Blightsteel could drop a lot more in price.
I am not a fan of infect in commander, so I don't personally like Blightsteel. I think the rules should set poison to 20 counters to kill someone.

Utility over bombs. Aways go for the tool that helps you function rather than the one that modifies how you win. Kozilek is great, but you can simulate him with an Artisan of Kozilek. Blightsteel is nice to cheat out, but Darksteel Colossus is the original and pennies on the dollar vs Blightsteel's cost.

just in EDH or everywhere, because if it is everywhere, there is no reason to run infect.
I think it should be 1/2 your life total.
