Title: Booster box
Post by: Nikhandy on February 29, 2012, 07:11:26 PM
Is I worth getting? Is there a better way to get cards that may be cheaper :/

Honestly not really any better way than with a box. you pay 30% more per pack one at a time and u have less of a chance of dooplacate rates in a box. Also gives u at least 36 rates to trade with maybe more including foils and bonus

It depends, I guess. I usually get a box and a fat pack.  You can pick up a complete set of common and uncommon from online vendors. And buy your rares after that.

You can buy play sets of the common and uncommon for around $30-40 sometimes cheaper. And spend what you want on the rare and mythic. You get what you want then.

But I like opening packs so I would save up and buy a box. If you have a few friends who play you can pool your money and buy a box so it's not such a big hit in your pocket book.

Hmm, the common and uncommon thing sounds good, but I also like opening packs. If I cant get all that money, I might just go halfsies with someone.

I think there was another post like this of you look back a few pages. If you can get 4 people or more you can do your own draft for practice and just split the rest of the packs

Nice pulls!!!!!!    Elesh and that Sword have jumped in price a lot in the recent days.  Those two paid you back for the whole booster box.

Right? On top of that I got two surgical extractions a metamorph shreold and a batterskull. All that was missing was an obliterator but I am not complaining
