Keep or Sell: Herald of Anguish, Saheeli, Foil Aether Heart
Economics forum
Posted on Jan. 25, 2017, 9:58 a.m. by RazortoothMtg
I'm not a Magic Economics expert, so I need some help. I've pulled a few cards of value: Saheeli Rai, Herald of Anguish, and a Gonti's Aether Heart
Prerelease Foil. Should I keep these? will Saheeli drop, rise, stay the same? Help please!

Keep Saheeli Rai for sure. Unless the deck proves to be utterly unplayable, it will never be worth less than $20 unless it gets banned. The others, I dunno. If there's a good deck for Herald of Anguish, he'll stay where he's at or maybe go up. If there's not, then he will tank. Gonti's Aether Heart, on the other hand, is complete junk. It's like Ugin's Nexus in that good fucking god I keep on FUCKING OPENING THIS CARD. So in other words, get rid of it now before it becomes worthless.

Agreed. Saheeli Rai will never go below $20 unless she is banned. She makes a T4 win possible. Unless I'm forgetting something, that was exclusively held by Emrakul, the Promised End + Aetherworks Marvel before the bannings.
Whether the deck becomes super consistent or not, as long as it's possible, people will want her. I'd definitely hold onto her. If better shells for her deck are developed, she will go up considerably.

Something to keep in mind is the fact that Saheeli Rai is a known commodity. People know she is good and the decks that she is in already have done well at the few tournaments that we have had. That being said, I do not see her going up by much she is already 20-25 dollars which is already very high. The only other comparable card is Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and he is even more established and settled and playable in more decks. Therefore I do not believe she will drop by much nor will she raise though so if you don't want her then trade her.
Herald of Anguish will never be more than he is now. The card is good but he is playable competitively in one style of deck and the people playing that deck (which I believe will be a fringe deck) will be much lower than this guy will be pulled. So drop him soon.
Gonti's Aether Heart is by far NOT trash. It is NOT ugin's nexus and is VERY playable. It is one of the most talked about cards by pros and this is because it is very easily enabled. This is one of the cards that make Metalwork Colossus decks very viable and scary because it turns it into a Part the Waterveil style deck that can go off much earlier. This card has the potential to break the pro tour but I would not count on it nor would I count on the pro tour affecting many prices this time around. I would keep this card but I dont think it will go up by that much maybe just a few bucks.

First question to ask is if your going to use them, if the answer is yes, then you can stop reading here. However, if the answer is a no, you should read on.
Generally, sets dip in value before the PT, and don't settle until the following week. So this is the time to watch what decks seem strong. Saheeli Rai is seeing play in her namesake "Saheeli Combo", so I would hold onto her. Gonti's Aether Heart and Herald of Anguish are not seeing play as far as I know, so I would get rid of them. However, if you want to try your luck on speculating, you can hold Herald of Anguish. The card seems like the perfect finisher in a black control shell, and if it does see play, it will surely rise again.
