Banlist Economic Impact

Not talking about the cards on the list, but those that will rise or fall as a result of the bans. For example I expect Chalice of the Void to fall quite a bit as the need to stop decks from 1-drops fueling delve is no longer an issue. Stoneforge Mystic and Voice of Resurgence have already been mentioned in other posts but they seem to be primed to rise/fall respectively.
What other cards do you see being affected positively or negatively as a result of the banning of Birthing Pod, Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time?

Goyf already has jumped, I think. SCG has it listed at $210 right now.

Eh, goyf still hovering around $170-185 on TCG and I don't see it suddenly jumping by much. If people wanted them and could afford them they already have them. Speculators aren't buying into them with MM2 coming and the practical guarantee they'll be included.
I agree on Bob and Lili though. Snapcaster Mage seems poised to gain the most IMO. Graveyards are back in play and it's already guaranteed not to be reprinted in MM2.
What about legacy? I'm mostly a casual observer of the format but I'm dipping my toes into the finance side of it lately.

Birthing Pod has already seen an immediate dip in its price, as well.

MMA 2 stops at Scars block, Innistrad isn't included

ChiefWannaHacka ergo, why he said it won't be reprinted.
Any odds of Siege Rhino going down? I just pulled a foil at the prerelease, so I'm hoping standard is enough for me to get a really good trade out of it.

I can see noble hierarch taking a bit of a dive. Since it was a 4 of on a lot of pod. Unless they find somewhere else effective to put her I can definitely see a price drop there

This is an interesting subject. I was hoping to see some articles on it.

Gravecrawler Vengevine Life from the Loam Liliana of the Veil and others are all seeing movement

Because Liliana of the Veil wasn't expensive enough as it is.

Does anyone really have faith in modern dredge making a splash? I think those cards mckin mentioned are probably short-term price increases as speculators pick up stock. Seems likely they'll get caught holding the bag.
Liliana of the Veil was actually underpriced IMO. I have 6 copies and was looking into foils when the bans happen. Probably too late now :( but I am happy to see Noble Hierarch coming back down, if it does. That card was overpriced. Seems likely to be in MM2 as well.
And yes, I think Siege Rhino will probably come down to around $3 and stay there a while.
I have a FS Tarmogoyf I've been looking to trade. Wondering now if I should wait a bit. I did just bite the bullet and order 4x NM Wastelands. Definitely see that card moving soon. Old, single-print lands are nearly always good investments.

Lily wasnt underpriced id say since she want good, there was no reason for her to stay at the T1 price if there wasnt demand, now there is demand, not to mention its confirmed reprint for the next 3 RPTQ (everyone who top 8 or top16 big rptqs auto qualifies for the next one also). which will put close to 10k (rough estimate) more lily in the market.
the PT will help but i think jund dredgevine might have some merit, the new phoenix plays well with vengevine, then grave troll, lotleth troll, and gravecrawler all create nice synergy, and can play abrupt decay, mutilate/drown in sorrow/dismember/murderous cut against twin, and then Fulminator Mage for tron/scapeshift

Expect to see Liliana of the Veil and Bob rise, as Junk is primed to be number one. Again. Expect Goyf to jump too, obviously.
