Title: Which booster box should I get?
Post by: Spencer Addington on September 11, 2013, 07:15:42 PM
I know that theros is almost here, but I'm going to be splitting a box with my friend, so I'm not gonna get that. I'm thinking the my tip 5 are Return to Ravnica, Avacyn Restored, Scars of Mirrodin, M12, or Dark Acension. What do you think I should get?

Get a tier one deck instead, then win a booster box. or get another box of theros because it would be better to get more theros if possible.

Innastrad has the highest adverage value on rares and return to ravnica has the most highly played cards but honestly i would recommend reconsidering on theros. It is the most tradable set trough the next two months and there is nothing wrong with excess.

Alliances, for {Storm Crow}. Otherwise, RtR, Zendikar block, and Shards would be MY top ones.

Can I ask why your against a theros box? I never buy boxes but I'm making an exception for theros...it looks to be a high value set. If not I'd got rtr or zendikar...also really like lorwyn

Yeah. Alliances for {Storm Crow}. Not, you know, {Force of Will} or anything.  Damn {Storm Crow} jokes 😒

But alpha is worth it. Commons are like $50-$100 uncommons are like $100-$200 and rares are $200-$6000 lol

The box that I purchase will be my first, excluding the one in splitting with a friend, and I suppose I want something a bit different. Thinking about it, theros seems like the right choice. The pricing is pretty low, easily tradable cards, and I'll get to see new planeswalkers. I'll wait and see if return to Ravnica drops bellow 99$. If it does, I'll buy that. If not, it'll be theros.

It wont as long as it's in standard and then {abrupt decay}, {supreme verdict}, and {deathrite shaman} will hold it's price up.

I would recommeend any of the Shards of Alara set.The value of some cards are astounding.Plus,all cards in the set are gold. {Child of Alara} anyone? {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}? {Progenitus}?

I purchase all of my boxes from King's Games, they charge 89.99 for all standard boxes.. So RTR is only 89.99 right now! They also give you a free booster of whatever box you buy if you include the note "BONUSPACK"

Innistrad would be a good choice. You have a chance to get some {snapcaster mage} and/or {Geist of Saint Traft} plus you can get some of the rare lands

Lands wont matter much longer but {liliana of the veil}, snap, and traft certainly do matter.
