Not to mention this forum is the lowest postionwise, below things completely unrelated to magic

I'd probably rather have the Judge Foil Cradle and Tropical Island. Liliana of the Veil could be reprinted at some point in time, while Cradle and Island won't.

Thanks for the reply. What do you think the odds are I could/should trade Lili + cards to get a Sealed box of MMA.

Also, I'm assuming in this trade I should take the Mesa?
Pile A
3x Supreme Verdict 4x3 12
1x Teferi 18.25
1x Sulfur Falls 7.5
2x Figure of Destiny (promo) 2.5x2 5
42.75

Pile B
Arid Mesa 42

How do you feel about this trade.

Pile A
Foil Stoneforge
Foil Liliana of the Veil
Jitte

Pile B
Foil Gaeas cradle
Tropical Island

All cards NM.
I have the foil Liliana and mystic. I'm not sure if I should hold onto them for better trades. I'm hoping to get a sealed box of MMA

Why do you recommend against picking up Thassa?

How low do you think the original Rav will drop? I'm thinking I might need to try and trade off my 2 copies

Is it a bad time to get tarmogoyfs? I feel like it's too late to expect much appreciation in price, but I do need em. I just don't wanna see them at 50 bucks in a year...

Not going to happen. If they announce tomorrow that Goyf will be in MM2 next summer (no set has actually been announced) and that it will be reprinted at Rare it might dip by 25% for the short term, but the number of people buying them up will easily than make up for that in the long term. The days of less than $100 Goyfs are probably gone baring some unprecedented mass reprint or banning from Legacy and Modern (not going to happen).

If you feel that you will get enough play value out of a $190/ea card then buy them. It's your money. There is literally no way a card for half that would be worth buying for me, but not everyone shares that same POV.

Don't you mean the days of $150 or less Goyfs is over? I wish they would drop to $150 or less. I remember everyone saying they would drop after the first printing in MMA, instead, they doubled in price. I really regret trading mine away!!

I'm shocked people don't already know this, but reprints always tank. There are VERY few exceptions, and the painlands aren't it. They were once playable, they are now a lot less so. And there are a lot of them out there... and a lot of them being printed up right now. Sell, sell, SELL!

Well there were quite a few exceptions in MMA

I think picking up the cheap temples couldn't hurt either

Any thoughts? I'd like to get some feedback before pulling the trigger here.

When do you expect this to happen? I'm not familiar with the Modern cycle of events. I heard we're already a few weeks into Modern Season. Just wondering if I should continue trying to nab these...

I got 3, do you think I should keep trying to get them @ $5? Will they likely continue to rise?

So, I'm wondering if this is a good time to pick up Zen fetches, since the prices dipped a little? I've heard they're probably going to go up when Modern Season hits, but it seems like that has already happened.

Also, I'm wondering if it's worth trading shocks for some Standard staples, such as Courser of Kruphix.

Here are some trades I have Pending...

Posting again, since it was missed

Here are a couple:

Pile A


2x Wasteland 1x Mesa
2x Clique
1x SoFaF

Pile B

Bayou
Tropical Island

2nd

Pile A
Arid Mesa
Verdant Catacombs x2
Temple of Malady

Pile B
Savannah
2x Wilt leaf liege
craterhoof behemoth
sublime archangel

First one - $360 vs. the 2 dual lands. I feel that the 2 duals are a better pile, although this always depends on what condition they're in. For example, if the cards in pile A are NM and the duals are MP, pile A is probably better. Condition for condition, I'd go duals.

Second one - $130 vs. Savannah and $30. Once again, I would go with the dual. I know Maverick is not in a good place right now in Legacy, but Savannah is underpriced considering many other duals are nearly $350.

LOL, that second one is my trade, and I was even thinking of posting it. LOL, now you're making me have second thoughts. Jk

Here's one for me..

My
2x Stoneforge Mystic
for
1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth.

I've actually been trading mine away in hopes that they would either stay where they are or drop a bit around rotation. I'm guessing they wont drop much more and will gradually increase a bit in price

What do you guys think about the Temples? I see some are around $3 and I was thinking of grabbing some. Specifically, Mystery, Abandon and any of thr cheaper ones
