Side A (My side)Flooded Strand(KTK) x 1, Tasigur, the Golden Fang x 2, Dig Through Time x 1
Side B (Their side)Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker (Japanese) x 1, Temple of Epiphany x 1, Temple of Triumph x 1, Soulfire Grand Master x 1, Valorous Stance x 1

I'm not sure. I think all the temples are going down as soon as rotation hits. Same with Valorous Stance and Sarkhan.
On the other hand, Flooded Strand will probably never lose value, and DTT will most likely stay about where it is now. I have no idea where Tasigur is played, so I'm not sure on him.

Tasigur, the Golden Fang is seeing play in Abzan lists in Modern and BUG lists in Legacy. It's basically Tarmogoyf number 5 and sometimes 6.

Well I traded them to a friend who runs Abzan , and i have 6 more strands, I don't know why he wanted the dig, but every card I traded for was for a deck

Honestly, you did not do well if you want to make money. In fact, you did the reverse of what you are supposed to do. traded eternal stuff for standard stuff

You basically broke even in value but you got worse cards.

Whenever I trade, I ask myself "is this something I'm going to use?" If so, then if you are happy with what you got ride of then it was a good trade. Magic isn't all about making money, it's about having fun.

I would say that was not smart on your end. and this belongs in the economics section. the trading post is for setting up trades, economics is where you talk about value and what not. Epochalyptik can move this

Yeah, as commander said, Economics is probably where this belongs... Tagging ChiefBell too :)

If you needed those cards then sure, you did fine, but if you traded for money then you didn't do so good as eternal value is not a good idea to trade for standard value.

I don't trade for value, I trade for cards I am going to use.
I assume that you are asking money wise how you did since you posted it on here.
Personally I am struggling to get the strands I need for EDH, but you said you have a bunch more.
You got stuff you needed, and a traded a friend who you helped out. Sounds fine to me.

Uh, well, you traded away a bunch of stuff with eternal value for things that will lose value upon rotation, but, hey, if those are the cards you wanted, good for you!
