Foil Scalding Tarn for sure. Tarmogoyf is going to be reprinted in Modern Masters anyway

I don't think the value of the current Tarmogoyf would go down because of the different arts though,would it? And Epochalyptik, what is your reasoning behind the tarn?

It's not that the value will go down, it's just that Tarmogoyf will become more available, while foil Scalding Tarn will be hard to come by.

The value of the original Tarmogoyf will decline a bit and Tarmogoyf itself will experience an increase in supply. Scalding Tarn , on the other hand, has only been printed once and is sought-after by both new and old players making the transition to Modern or Legacy. A foil one will command value and it won't experience any price drops.

Plus, it will be more difficult to move a German Tarmogoyf , especially one that isn't NM/M.
