Should i trade my EMA Karakas for 2 foreign Crucible of Worlds? I know i get value right now, but do you think its worth it in the long term since crucible has a bigger chance of getting a print in future MMA?

Crucible of Worlds would probably be reprinted at mythic rarity, and we've seen how that affects prices. I doubt Crucible's price would ultimately fall (it may drop a little before rising again) if it is reprinted at mythic.
It might drop a little if its reprinted at rare.
What language(s) are the Crucibles?

I would like to experiment with crucible in my deck Tipping the Scale.. And the other one would be for commander. I dont really need the crucibles, but i have 3 karakas from Legends and i dont really need the 4th either..

karakas dont really change in value either tbh, and as EMA demonstrates, they will reprint it, thus controlling the value. Alot of decks don't use 4 of them either, so having a playset is a little pointless imo. Trade for what you need i say

Since Karakas seems to be down to $90, and 2x Crucible of Worlds are at $70 each ($140 all), I would do the trade.
Also, you say your not using the Karakas you already have, but you are planning on using Crucible. From that standpoint, I wold do the trade as well.

I do use the 3 karakas i have in my death & taxes deck. I use to move one of them to Tipping the Scale when i play that, so keeping the karakas would spare me from that. I took the trade, mostly because crucible opens up for more fun strategies to try out :).

I think the prices on both are retarded. But if you need the crucibles then go for it.

As someone mentioned before, if Crucible is reprinted, it will likely be at mythic. Due to that, you won't see a permanent price dip.

I honestly dont think crucible has any chance of being reprinted in MMA I would think it would be printed in EMA
