Huntmaster of the Fells Flip VS. Liliana of the Veil
As of right now, both of these cards are $35, but which one is more likely to retain value after Standard rotates out? I'm too inexperienced in other formats to gauge their long-term value.
both liliana and huntmaster see play in modern. Liliana also sees play in legacy so i would pick her up.

and if better 4 drops come out huntmaster will get replaced in modern, this is a good possibility between now and when they rotate out of standard given how many cards will be released between now and then!

liliana as she is is an eternal staple in two major formats where huntmaster see's play in only one.

I would venture to agree that liliana of the Veil will retain more value or value longer than Huntmaster of the Fells how I disagree that Huntmaster will be replaced. I don't see dropping another card that gives that kind of board advantage in those same colors being a good thing for MtG as a whole. He has seen a lot of play before Bloodbraid Elf was banned, too. It's the fact that Liliana of the Veil sees more play that is the real question. If you are asking which to buy now definitely go with Liliana bc she may even rise in price. Huntmaster does have the potential to fall so grab him after he rotates out.

I'm actually hoping to trade my Huntmaster for a Liliana of the Veil at my LGS, but I was wondering if it would be the right decision in the long run. I appreciate the input.

i know that huntmaster is currently used alot in modern for Jund as far as I know and I haven't read that lili is used anywhere but I don't know anything more sorry also the huntmaster has only just been slotted in to replace Bloodbraid Elf so he could end up being replaced as well. I wouldn't like to hazard any guesses when it comes to proce fluctuations though...
