Buying Sphinx's Revelation?

I'm debating about buying Sphinx's Revelation for my U/W control for $23 each. Is this worth it, considering it will be rotating out soon? I've seen the other thread, and it seems most people believe it will drop around May (when Journey Into Nyx) comes out? Basically, is it worth the money to buy it now, then trade it away two or three weeks before Journey Into Nyx, or will I lose too much money on it?

I do play magic for fun, and have had the most fun with my UW control, and I will buy a couple of them. Thanks for the advice!

It really depends on what your goal is.
If you want to play with a sweet card, go for it. At the end of the day, Magic is a hobby, which by nature is something to spend money on for your enjoyment. Sphinx's Revelation is basically the card to have for UW control. So if playing that deck is fun for you, then consider it. You might loose a few dollars on it in, but that's the price you pay sometimes to play with the best cards.
If you're trying to irk out every cent from the game, probably not worth it. Liquidating your supply in the next few months, probably when UW is at its zenith with the new scry lands, is likely going to be the cards high point. It's not seeing enough eternal format play to be a great long term hold, especially with how much RTR was opened.
