Griselbrand – Plenty of brewing potential for this in Modern and has already proven itself in Legacy. It probably has some casual demand outside of EDH due to its iconic nature. I just can’t agree with you on this one; I’ll be picking these up cheap whenever I can.

Kessig Wolf Run – This is a 1-of in Living End. This is a very powerful land and I wouldn’t be surprised if other usages for it crop up as Modern evolves.

I do like the format of your review, though. Straight to the point.

In reply to James Erickson. I like Garruk Relentless a lot...the fact that he's a doubled sided card REALLY limits the chances of a reprint (as it requires the checklist cards too for any sort of limited format though they would be necessary for any format where he could be played w/o sleeves)

In reply to QED2. Okay, maybe I resorted to a bit of hyperbole, but that's harsh, man. :P

In reply to James Erickson. Cavern of Souls is a major omission on my part, thanks for pointing this out. This is another card that held $20 it's entire time in Standard and is an excellent pick-up at $10 (if it drops that far).

I really love foil geists right now, because of it’s desired in every format and player type.

Also, Cavern of Souls should likely be mentioned as a four-of in Legacy Goblins, most non-Elves tribal, and in demand for casual (EDH and other) use across the board.

Fairly certain that Garruk Relentless is seeing play in the BG decks in Modern as well now. Still in small numbers, but might be that getting his foot in the door there will help him out long term.

Conscripts was an Intro Deck Foil, so be aware of quantity issues there.

With respect to Snapcaster, I’m not sure that Innistrad is automatic for MM2. Maybe if it doesn’t come out till 2016 — Shards was five years old when MM was released.

“He is banned in Commander so there’s no casual demand.”

aaaand credibility shot :<

Very thorough analysis. Thanks for the shout-out re: Liliana. I struggle to drop $40 on a card rotating out of Standard as well, but I did pick up a foil Liliana with the hopes these don’t drop in price at all at rotation. The Legacy and Modern market should keep this price high with lots of upside.
