The widely "accepted" opinion is not always right and the reason Jace was banned has as much to do with other cards in the format to go along with him.
Fact is Liliana is just as much if not more relevant than Jace in legacy.
Liliana goes into Shardless Bug, Jund and Pox
Jace goes into Shardless Bug and Miracles
Also Jace was banned as a precaution. He was never legal in modern. Actually if they unbanned him right now he would have obviously some impact on the format but it is not likely that he would warp the format at all.
I think Jace 2.0 does not get that much support in legacy at the moment. I have played legacy for quite a while. Only UW (miracle, counterbalance, cow blade whatever they are similar) and threshold seems to stay at the format forever. The rest just come and go. And Jace 2.0 does support one of them. I can see Jace will be played more than Liliana in the long run.
Anyway it is hard to evaluate a card power level based on a specific format at a specific time. If I have both of them in my pack for cube draft. I think most people will pick Jace on top of Liliana.
I always believe that most legacy samples are only good at legacy. If we reprint any one of them in any standard format (without other cards support). Only three cards will always be good : FOW, Jace and jitte.

Based on the above info, I wouldn't expect the shocklands, as a whole, to drop in price very much. Shocks that aren't seeing much play in Modern (most notably Blood Crypt and Watery Grave) seem like they would be the most likely to dip (if at all).
snapcaset mage and liliana are also legacy-playable singles; Their price is very stable.
None really paly Geist right now and Angel never gets into Legacy.
Those shocks have been reprinted twice. Back to the day, when shocks available at extended. They are only around $10 - $12 a piece. I do not think they will go any higher than that.
I grab my zendikar fetch lands around $7.5 each when they were rotated. I have around 14 sets of them.
Should I sell them at 65% of SCG price ? (like $65 for mist rainforest) I think that is the price everyone willing to pay at the moment. Or wait till the price stabilize ?
Are you comfortably with an 800% profit margin?
You could wait, they could go up another 10-20 or more. But if you hav 14 sets, you obviously did it to make money. There is waiting to maximize your profits, and then there is just blinding yourself to profits you could already make. I would sell them at that price in a heartbeat right now. It's money hand over fist, and possible future returns aren't guaranteed. If you can sell them for that, do it. I don'tthink there's a good reason not to.
800% profit margin is only for those blue ones.
Non-blue ones are way lower than that.
65% of SCG price is actually pretty bad. Maybe I should dump like half of my blue ones for that price. And keep the rest for a bit longer

B pile: 2 foil force of will
pretty happy with the deal
Per the Market Street Café rules, posting only to brag isn't allowed. Warning issued. - Rai
I actually manage to get my set for 3k at local.
Will they drop to $600 or even less a piece ?
I am going to buy a set of foil force of will. They are $800 each in my local store.
Is it the best time to buy them now ? or I should wait for a bit longer.
Plz share your thought thx a lot
Modern will stay as a cheap format. Maybe slightly more expensive than Standard, but will never reach legacy level
Pile B: Dark confident
Pile C: $50 cash
or a MP one for $75 in store.
Nothing can beat FOW in a Talrand deck.
Spend $75 on a force of will
spend the rest on common counters, filter cards (ponder..), cheap draw power
Done
I have some legacy staples (like a set of wasteland, 3~4 pieces of each duels and 10+ FOW)
I do not really play the legacy since 2011. Seems everyone in my play group leave this format.
Should I sell all of them now ? Or just keep them like investment ?
I think I will keep my rest for now
