So rotation will be upon us soon enough, and I'm wondering what I should sell/keep.
Nothing too valuable, stuff like {mana confluence} and other $5-$15 rares.
The only eternals I have are {Eidolon of the Great Revel} and {Keranos}. I'm thinking keep those and trade/sell the rest?
What's the opinion of the experts?

I'm no expert but here is what I think will happen after rotation:
{Courser of Kruphix} will be $5-10
{Mana Confluence} will be $8-12
{Eidolon of the Great Revel} will be $5-10 (this is highly dependent on the modern meta however)
{Keranos, God of Storms} will be $8-12
{Brimaz, King of Oreskos} will be $12-15
{Thoughtseize} will be $15-20
Temples will be $2-3
Painlands will be $0.50-2

I was thinking of pain lands the other day. Think they should be dumped?

Kaalia with haste

They should be. Just look at the prices of the ones in standard and not in standard, however they have great EDH value and if you ever want budget mana fixing for modern, they're good there too.

Save foils, pitch basics unless you use them in decks you like. Doesn't hurt to have a playset for when they eventually come back again

I didn't want to make a new thread because it kind of goes along with this one. I'm curious as to whether it'd be a "good" move to pick up a play set of foil {Dig Through Time} while they are around $25 on average. They see legacy play, but will it be worth it in the coming years?

My opinion (and how I am finishing my playset) is to wait until after Khans rotates. It likely won't get unbanned soon (just look at how long it took them to realize that GGT was harmless), and it doesn't see a crazy amount of legacy play. That said, if you pick them up now you almost certainly won't be disappointed in the long run (but not as happy if you are able to get them at $10 after rotation).

Makes sense. That's really what it came down to (waiting or not). Might as well put that money to picking up my 4th FoW
