Hello everybody,
so recently i won a Nissa, Worldwaker in a draft. A friend of mine offered me to trade it and i managed to make him offer 2xCourser of Kruphix and 1xSylvan Caryatid . I live in germany, where Nissa is around 25 right now, a Courser around 12 and the Caryatid 4. Looking at it this way i would get a very good bargain there.
Considering the upcoming set i feel a very strong pull into three color decks, in which i want to use the Sylvan and the Courser, but i fear that Nissa will explode even more in value and i will be biting my own butt for trading her away. Considering that Painlands and Scrylands don't have the "Forest"-type, her second +1 gets considerably worse in a three color deck as i see it.
Please give me your opinion on the matter. What do you think about the trade, would you do it and why/why not?
Thanks!
The fetches work better with courser than with nissa.

Make that trade, Courser is an absolutely amazing card, and Caryatid is going to be even better with wedge colors being what standard is made up of pretty soon.

I would do the trade. I feel Nissa, Worldwaker is over priced and only going to go down with a 3 color set making her ramp ability significantly worse.

I play a lot of Green decks and I run Courser of Kruphix and Sylvan Caryatid in ALL of them. Nissa, Worldwaker is a great card, but she's way more situational. I would take the trade every time.

Courser of Kruphix is an amazing card. But then again, so is Nissa, Worldwaker . Nissa's abilities make it very geared toward either a deck with shocks, or mono Green. As Khans comes out, I would say Courser would go up more than Nissa. Mana consistency is just too important not to have for a 3 color deck. Same with Caryatid, but I feel that this trade is mostly for the Coursers. I would take the trade if I were you.

Courser of Kruphix is expected to jump soon, and he is best buds with Sylvan Caryatid . Do the deal!
