Bad trade, huh?

So a friend of mine had a Snapcaster Mage for the longest of time and I have been trying to get a hold of it. He trades it away... for this:
Friend receives: Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Brimaz, King of Oreskos
Other guys receives: Snapcaster Mage , and other cards so it is close to value.
I get mad at friend. He got standard cards for a Snapcaster Mage . I was like "WTF!!!"
We are good friends so nothing personal. Anyway, here's my question: Who was this a good trade for? Not my friend right?
Assuming he trades the cards away again at equal or greater value, I don't see a problem with it. Especially considering he might be calling trends. Whether he is correct or not only time can tell.

your friend received 45 in value, while snappy is only 34. technically, he made a good deal. I would sell those standard cards soon though. for fear of them dropping

Alright, it's just that it was a 45 to 45 trade since it wasn't just snapcaster for Birmaz and elspeth.
Also the fact that those cards he got are probably gonna drop while snappy is gonna rise

I think Brimaz, King of Oreskos will jump up after rotation, and I don't see Elspeth going anywhere anytime soon. I am pretty sure snappy just dropped a dollar recently so I would say its a great deal for your friend.

Elspeth might dip a little after UW control dies spectacularly. (No shpinx's rev, no shocklands, no supreme verdict, UW gonna get upset) Brimaz... who knows, but it's already pretty high.

Depends. Both elspeth and brimaz look to control standard post-rotation, but in terms of risk snappy is garunteed to continue to rise while the standard cards are a gamble.
