Facetoface games has Day's Undoing @ $22.99 and Archangel of Tithes @ 19.99 (CAD). Wondering if I should sit in them for awhile or get rid of them fast. Not sure how card economics work myself so looking for advise in this matter.

Get rid of them ASAP. Neither card has been proven yet, and if either one does pan out there isn't much more that they can go up form here.

Getting rid of them is the safest thing to do.

I would sell or trade any good card that someone else actually wants if I have no plan for using it.

That being said, the economics for creatures seems less predictable than some other cards like lands so I agree with taking what you can get for them when you can. That being said, I know someone who had a play set of Snapcaster Mages who traded them a year or two ago. It does seem like the snap casters and goyfs are more the exception than the rule, though, when it comes to creatures.

I think the same way about any spell that isn't an obvious 'strictly better' version of a key combo or strategy.

I always get rid of cards above $10 after a pre-release. Chances are that they're going to drop really soon. I traded a Monastery Mentor for a Thoughtseize and Polluted Delta at the FRF pre-release, and the next week, Mentor had dropped $7.

Unload expensive mythics immediately after they are released.

Sell, For the reasons outlined above.
