Title: What's the better box to buy?
Post by: Quisequise on October 23, 2012, 10:09:58 PM
Innistrad, Dark Ascension, 2013, Avacyn Restored, or Return to Ravnica.

Just would like to see some different opinions on the sets.

IMO if you can find all the boxes at the same price rtr. But every so often I see the others for less and I like the avr

I opened a box or RTR with only 3 mythics,  {Worldspine Wurm},  {Rakdos's Return} and  {Sphinx's Revelation} and only 2 shock lands. Super lame. I think I still almost broke even but it wasn't a blowout of value like a lot of people seem to get. :-(

Just would like to see some different opinions on the sets.
By priority and with reasoning;
RTR lots of value, really strong set in general.
Innestrad - dualies and some of the strongest cards in its block
AVR - another really strong set, only reason in nested comes first is dualies.
Dark ascension - while a nice set, doesn't touch the others for value/power
2013 - it's a very meh coreset with some good dualies and decent mythics.

M13 is the bigger waste of money. Outside {Thragtusk}, {Thundermaw Hellkite} and {Sublime Archangel} you're not looking at much.

Innistrad has enemy dual lands, {Snapcaster Mage}, {Geist of Saint Traft}, {Olivia Voldaren} and {Stomkirk Noble} about 7 awesome rares and 1 mythic..

Dark Ascension has {Thalia, Guardian of the Thraben}, {Dungeon Geists}, {Geralf's Messenger}, {Gravecrawler}, {Hellrider}, {Falkenrath Aristocrat}, {Huntmaster of the Fells}

Common/Uncommon - {Gather the Townsfolk}, {Lingering Souls}, {Highborn Ghoul}, {Tragic Slip}

Avacyn Restored {Tamiyo, the moon sage}, {cavern of souls}, {vexing devil}, {Griselbrand}, {restoration angel}, {bonfire of the damned}, {entreat the angels}, {terminus}, {zealous conscripts}
