I'm going to try to do some trading over the next few days, and I'm wondering which of the cards I'm considering should be my top priorities. I'm considering Lifebane Zombie , Deathrite Shaman , Hero's Downfall , Scavenging Ooze , and Vraska the Unseen . I know DRS and Scooze will hold their value best out of the cards listed, but I feel like Hero's Downfall and Lifebane Zombie might be better choices. The Zombie combined with Thoughtseize (and with Whip of Erebos ) would give me pretty much perfect information throughout a game and a lot of potential disruption. Zombie also makes running Gray Merchant of Asphodel worth it. Scooze is the least exciting, but like I said probably going to hold value better and I can also pop him neatly into my G/W deck.

Some outside opinions would really help me sort this out.

In the end, what will 'hold value' should have no bearing on the card choices for the deck. Personally, I don't think DRS is good enough in standard without fetches or similar being played, the graveyard hate is OK, but there are better options, like ooze and Rest in Peace . Now since this is a rock deck, I like Lifebane Zombie and Hero's Downfall the most. Though ooze probably deserves a slot also.
