it's a solid value card but not really a bomb. 4 copies of Recover and a bunch of mediocre creatures are going to lose to an opponent casting one powerful thing you can't deal with

It isn't like you're cutting Impales or Chupacabras for Recovers. Recover is just going to be better than whatever lovely equipment or discard spell you'd play over it. Play your bombs, play your removal, play your efficient creatures, and then play your card advantage cards.

Is the 4th recover going to be better than an actual creature? This isn't m15 where you can just fill your deck with air, you need stuff that affects the board.

So do you guys think lotus vale will go down in price after the new set hype dies down or should I just bite the bullet on one now because reserve list/price memory?

As someone who has an unused Halo that he wants to get rid of, that seems high. Not sure that I've seen many decks running more than one or two out of the board.

Do you need one for EDH or something? Reserve list cards drop in price slower than other cards, no risk of reprints.

Getting it for anything else doesn't make sense considering there isn't a deck really made yet.

Its shadowmoor, which has this habit of making cards loving expensive due to scarcity. Its also the only set it was printed in. I just sold my playset for 200$ on facebook.

Its shown up in some jeskai lists in modern, which is on a big upswing. 2 in the sideboard for the guy who won the open. Half the price is speculation due to the small size of the set because it was 20 before they were bought out.

It's pretty slow but if your opponent stalls out the board at all you probably just lose.

Is Jund Midrange with Goyfs and Kalitas and Fulminator Mage and Lili of the Veil and stuff still a thing? It used to be the big bad deck to beat in Modern back when I still played that format.

It's tier 2, at best, right now. Some versions are lowering their curve a tiny bit to put pressure on non-interactive decks. There are a lot of stubborn jund pilots out there, way more than any other deck I think.

I’ve been considering doing the same but those games where you draw 3 copies of lingering souls and cast all of them twice are just too good. I also still feel like I’m improving with each event so I’ll stick with it. I have gone 2-2 so, so many times with the deck, though.

Its a very mediocre deck at the moment. You no longer win the creature battle anymore with basically any deck . Your discard suite is still pretty good but basically other decks run the same suite and do better with it. Liliana is great as ever though.

If the deck is getting too bad for Reid Duke you know something is wrong. The more aggressive shells are probably best at the moment. He recently posted an video article about it.

https://www.channelfireball.com/videos/traverse-shadow-modern-channel-reid/

The deck is better than straight up Jund but has its own set of issues. Still bad against tron and other big mana decks. Its honestly just a bad grixis deck.

Downgrading the sideboard a little to have a more aggressive deck has its merits. Always be rabbling.

if I have two things exiled by profane procession, activate the ability holding priority, and then activate it again would it flip back to the profane procession side after transforming due to the first trigger?

Edit: oops misread the question, see below form the release notes

"If you have enough mana, you can activate Profane Procession's ability multiple times before any activation resolves. It will be transformed if one activation exiles the third card. Further activations waiting to resolve won't cause Tomb of the Dusk Rose to transform back into Profane Procession, but they will exile creatures that Tomb of the Dusk Rose can bring back."

No. Under Innistrad's rules it would have, but under the new transform rules that came with Shadow over Innistrad it won't retransform.
