    Price Speculation on Snapcaster and Liliana

    So i've wanted a Foil playset of these and it sucks cause they are just ridiculously high right now.

    After they rotate out of standard in a few months do you think they'll drop? Will they stay high cause of modern or will i get an opportunity to scoop em up?

    Short answer is: minor dip due to increased supply.

    Remember Jace TMS after the banning? The regulars dipped alot, but the foils barely dipped. Look where the prices are now once supply has dried up.

    Liliana seems like a healthy candidate for a reprint.

    No, foil prices don't drop.
    Non-foils does, however. (Not a lot, as these two cards are both MULTI (all constructed)-format stables)

    (Rotation and banning can't be considered the same, so don't go there)

    Eternal foil staples dont really go down in price but rather go up instead check jace thoughtseize and bob as well tarmogoyf
    and wastelands and swords to plowshares / brainstorm.

    I expect both these cards (and Geist) to take a dip between August and November, but there is very likely going to be little to no change in the price of foils during that time. Your best bet is to pick up copies of the cards, and then trade multiples to people who have single foils. Players tend to be much more amenable to trading foils if they are getting replacement copy(s) so they can still play.
    Check out my Legacy UBTezz Primer. Chalice of the Void: Keeping Magic Fair.

    Most of the 'Ban brainstorm!' arguments are based on the logic that 'more different cards should get played in Legacy', as though the success or health of the format can be measured by the portion of cards that are available and see play. This is an idiotic metric.

    They won't, due to modern ptq season either.
