Here is the Innistrad rankings based on price. 

1)  

Is there any question why this would be #1? This is one of the best planeswalkers ever made (that won't get banned). It is only 3 mana, which in classic can be cast first turn using a Dark Ritual.  Just saying people. But it makes people discard, gets around creatures with hexproof and protection from Black. This once again makes the mono-black deck viable again  Oh and it has a really nasty version of Fact of Fiction. If there was a broken card out there, I would have to say its name is Lilliana.

2) 

Wow. just wow. If you already weren't annoyed by Splinter Twin, well here is it's ugly little cousin. With the new U/R mana this card is beyond broken in any format. This card may be banned in some formats, and this is why Nihil Spellbomb needs to be in EVERY-SINGLE-SIDEBOARD. 

3) 

I'm not a huge fan of this card. I mean what, you can deal 3 points of damage to a creature, and then turn it over? I think it's low casting cost and only 1 forest (which makes it splashable) isn't good enough for it's abilities. I do like the ability to poop out 2/2 creatures. But I think Garruk (M12) is a much better card. I don't know, I think this planeswalker is a little overrated. 

4) 

This is one of those cards that makes you go "This card is the bee's knees!". But then you think about it and it's a good card, but not a great card. Sure it can avoid counterspells, but it doesn't have Hexproof, and therefor even if you can get it into your graveyard early enough to cast it by turn 3, it would get killed by Go for the Throat or Doom Blade. It does have that "late game" potential, but I see the current blue decks not being creature intensive. I mean are you going to take out counterspells in return for Merfork Looter and more creature cards? Are the Illusion Bears going to come back with a vengeance? I think this card is much better in other formats like Modern or Classic instead of Standard. And once again, NIHIL SPELLBOMB!!!!!

5) 

Love, love, love, love this card. We might need to get a Motel room. It's only 3 mana? Oh god. This is scary. First off, if you get this in a draft, you win. But this is one of the best cards I have seen in a long time. It may be personal preference, but if they never made Lilliana, this would by my personal #1 pick. I doubt there will be a "Tier 1" STD deck without this. Oh and btw, it can be returned from the graveyard by Sun Titan. 

6)      

Next up, price wise, is the lands. They will be in high demand early, and opening these up in the pre-release will make you some nice coin. Honestly, I think the W/B one if the most valuable. It allows you to play the deck I see as being played a ton, the U/W/B deck. The W/B land allows you to have play the deck with the most mana available for all three variations.

My personal favorite is the Black Green because I love green and think Black Green has a place in Standard.

7)  

I don't know, I think this is another card that makes the "Modern" version of Splinter Twin even better. It is also another card that screams to me... NIHIL SPELLBOMB!!!!!!!!

8)

Well forget the whole "new Standard is a slower Standard". This is a good card, but it also has two things that could be useful. 1) You can get out non-black creatures faster, like, for example, titans. 2) The bigger the creature, the less the -1/-1 hurts you. 

Turn 2) Heartless Summoning

Turn 3) Veridian Emissary x2

Turn 4) Grave Titan

That may not be the best way to get that card out, give me a better one please. But this card is not mono-black. It's a card that will make Titans even scarier. Not to mention the unknown titan, who is a titan but doesn't get called a titan. Wurmcoil Engine.

9)  

Ok. I mean this isn't bad, but it's not even close to being the best gold card in the set. It's #3 after a card not even in the top 15 (price wise), which is the U/B creature that is a clone and can kill other creatures of the same name. Which is interesting if you can create a way to bounce it back to your hand.... Maybe Venser, the Soujourner, Phantasmal Image, or even Phyrexian Metamorph? That sounds a little scary to me. 

10) 

So let me get this straight. For 4 mana, you can have this in a W/G deck and play with Garruk (M12) and Elspeth Tirel, and you can make a whole lot of tokens? That sounds pretty cool to me. Not to mention you can put this in a deck with the creature that makes a 4/4 flyer when it attacks, or what about Cemetary Reaper, Garruk (Innistrad), or put this in a R/G deck with Kuldotha Rebirth? 

Honorable Mention. 

   

   

   

 

And the award for worst rare and probably overrated:

                                                                           

 

So that is based on price. But that doesn't mean these are the best cards in the set. I have noticed a few cards they brought in, and one they brought back that I personally enjoy. 

 and my favorite reprint ever....  YAY!!!!!

 

So that's the price list, but we all know that prices don't always mean they are the best. Here is my first Innistrad deck. 

4x Mana Leak	Sideboard
2x Jace, Memory Adept
3x Dissipate	3x Spellskite
3x Dismember	3x Day of Judgment
4x Grave Titan	1x Plains
3x Lilliana of the Veil	2x Mindshreiker
3x Go for the Throat	4x Snapcaster Mage
2x Skaab Ruinator	2x Sword of War and Peace
2x Merfolk Looter
3x Invisible Stalker
3x Sword of Feast and Famine
3x Ponder
2x Geist of Saint Traft
Land
4x Nephalia Drownyard
3x Drowned Catacombs
3x Ghost Quarters
3x Glacial Fortress
1x Plains
4x Swamp
4x Islands

I know the deck isn't perfect, but it's the best I can think of off the cuff. 

So, now that it is over, let me just say I actually watched Piranha 3-D using the 3D TV I begged my parents not to get me, and you know what? It wasn't a terrible movie. I thought it would be like a bad SyFy movie, but it wasn't bad. 

And I would suggest you give the new song by Papoose a chance. It's called Pipe Bomb and in the song he samples C.M. Punk, which I find very badass. 

 

And my top 5 cards ever? 

5. Force of Will (Everyone seems to love it, so why not even though I think Pyroclasm is cooler)

4. Tolarian Academy (Some people weren't playing when Saga came out, but this card was BROKEN). When this card came out, it was a staple in every Tier 1 deck. Forget Jace the Mind Sculptor, this card was the ultimate card well before Planeswalkers even existed. 

3. Gaea's Cradle. I love this card. Even though Tolarian Academy was the top card of it's day, Gaea's Cradle would be amazing if reprinted in Type 2, even though that could never happen because it would mean the end of Standard. 

2. Undermine. Still my favorite counterspell of all time. Or in a tie with Dissipate. 

1. Kobolds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing is better than a 0/1 red creature for (0) mana.

If given the chance, I bet you with today's cards, I could make a great Classic Kobolds deck.

Kobold Taskmaster, Kobold Drill Sergeant, Kobolds of Kher Keep, Crookshank Kobolds,and Crimson Kobolds.

Greatest cards (tribe) ever created. .
