What do y'all think?
Has she stabilized? Will she go up? Will she go down?
My card-shop owner says she'll go up, and I trust him, but at the same time he's trying to make sales, so... You see my skepticism, haha.
Since earlier this year it's basically stabilized around $40. Considering there is a modern GP mid Jan and a modern Pro Tour in Feb I would expect a rise around then. There's also a few more modern and legacy GPs early 2014 and the PTQs for "Huey" will be modern as well, which will start later next year. So I don't see it taking a dive any time soon.

She'll never go down unless they reprint her or somehow make her completely obsolete. The former could happen someday, but the latter is unlikely in the near future.
But if they do reprint her, it will almost certainly be in a limited-print special set like a From the Vault.

I don't see her dropping, she's stabilized for the moment, but she should hit 50$ in the next year and maybe rise a bit more. Her use in modern/legacy is HUGE and in a few popular decks, Jund, deathblade, rock, and doran junk. The only way she'll drop is if she's outclassed by either a deck archetype in those formats that eclipses the rest or card that does what she does but better (hand destruction). The former more likely than the later, see True-Name Nemesis in legacy, Deathblade is not really existent as most players use U/W Stoneblade instead for the maximum use of control and TNN. The latter won't happen, I think we've hit the best of that design space in Hymn to Tourach , Thoughtseize and her.

Buy them now, I think the price will rise to 50$ and stabilize there. I own a play set that I paid about 35$ each for. I consider it well worth the investment. Plus the usage I get out of the card is worth it. It's pretty much auto include 4 of just like Thoughtseize is.

@gufymike Liliana of the Veil is actually situated really well against True-Name Nemesis . Many decks that run it rely on it to never die, so they'll play it bare. That's when you drop Lili and make them sacrifice a dude. Sac effects are one of the only ways to beat it.

Modern season is coming up and she is a 4 of in one of the top tier decks being jund. I think she will go up because everyone wants her for modern and legacy. How much idk or if any, but in long run she will definitely keep creeping up in price , she's the next mini mindsculpter in my eyes
