Trade Evaluation

I am in multiple trades. Would appreciate analysis, financially, utility, format-wise, etc, etc. and if you were in my position, what pile would you prefer with whatever reason.

Pile A:

1x Deathmist Raptor,

1x Sunken Hollow Foil,

1x Ruinous Path Pre-Release Foil,

Pile B:

1x Sword of Body and Mind,

4x Chord of Calling,

1x Life from the Loam

OR

Pile A:1x Sunken Hollow Foil,

1x Ruinous Path Pre-Release Foil,

Pile B:

1x Polluted Delta KTK,

1x Misdirection CON,

In the first trade: Pile B. Plenty of eternal staples (despite SBM being banned in Modern :( ), and the cards in Pile A are all subject to fall once the meta shifts a bit.

In the second trade: Pile B, just because of the fetch. The Misdirection is a cherry on the top.

The sword isn't banned? It's banned in tiny leaders, that's about it.

But yes, always 200% trade your standard stuff for modern and legacy cards, so take pile B in both trades.

Pile B.

You always want to try to move Standard value towards Modern / Legacy / Eternal Standard (so like, fetchlands).

Huh, for some reason, I always thought it was. Kewl, let's brew some Simic Wolf Mill!!!

The pile with the single polluted delta is the best pile. Mainly because its the only pile with any blue, and we all know that the other colors only exist to show how great blue is.

im surprised no one actually said pile A for the second set. They are both FOILS...they should probably be much higher priced than a delta. Pile B should be getting more IMO (and then its a great trade).
