Standard Rotation!

[JediCheese]

This is my favorite time of the year! It's standard rotation time!

That $20 standard staple that will see no play in any tournament format, yet you've been drooling over to put into your commander deck is now $2. The Legacy staples you've wanted for a while finally are going to drop to reasonable prices. The crazy offhand Modern/Extended stuff is now acquirable at something approaching reasonable prices.

I'm going to post a list of stuff that's rotating out and is worth acquiring, but if anyone has suggestions of extra stuff I would appreciate it! Don't be shy stuff, even the strange oddball stuff that has zero value now but has some unique ability and could in the future is typically worth the investment.

Picked up 3x Thalia and 2x Terminus for $15 store credit.

I have a master list of everything that could be useful that rotated out on my google drive: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai9lc_65T6kbdEZlNGlUNFhMeTZYSGRNY3lKWC1ub0E&usp=sharing.

Much of the stuff at 2-3 can be safely purchased as a 1 of for EDH or 2 of in case it ever becomes useful in Legacy. The 4 of's are staples in specific decks so it's hard to cut those down. The 1 of's are primarily EDH corner cards that could be useful in a deck and/or something that could be a corner card in Legacy that would get played as a 1 of and if you need a 2nd would be easy to purchase later.

The Uncommons/Commons are primarily picked up in case there is a need later on so I have them on hand. Most will never be a 4 of, but it's so cheap to pick them up why bother not picking them up just in case?

The only cards over $5 on TCGPlayer at low are:
Geist of Saint Traft
Snapcaster Mage
Liliana of the Veil
Avacyn, Angel of Hope
Griselbrand
Cavern of Souls
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
Thundermaw Hellkite
Jace, Memory Adept
Sublime Archangel

What does everyone think of these cards? Go up? Down? Stay relatively stable?

IMO, snap caster, Geist and Lilliana will hold. As for the rest, I think those will probably come down a bit.

The other ones I'm thinking might go up are Griselbrand, Cavern of Souls and Tamiyo.

Griselbrand is a one of in legacy so I don't know how far he'll fall before he goes up again. Cavern of Souls I see as a staple in Goblins and Fish and potentially playable in several other decks as a 1 or 2 of. Tamiyo is Modern playable so I'm unsure how far she'll fall.

I love Geist and it's crazy powerful, but is a 6/2 shroud worth 3 mana in Legacy? He is awesome in Modern, but for the U/W deck in Modern a finisher isn't exactly hard to come by.
