Title: Theros worth it?
Post by: Spencer Addington on October 30, 2013, 02:50:02 AM
I'm thinking about buying a booster box and want to know, is it worth the 100$?

I wish they were only 100 bucks here... If that says anything.

Rtr and theros have the highest pricepoints im that order for adverage pulls. If you already have enough theros uncommons then definately rtr is better choice. If you still need some things from theros then get that but trade the high items your not using because the low set count in standard right now is inflating that set a lot.

I'll probably get a rtr then.

A good way to look at it is how many rares would you need to pull to pay for the box if you only pulled one of each. Not mythics because those can be unpredictable and sparce. In Rtr you can pay for a box in under 12 rares with no duplicates which leaves 2/3s more of a box to turn profit. Theros as I remember takes closer to 18 rares maybe more. Of course the theros mythics are better if you can get lucky enough.

I've been wanting to buy a box of RTR for a while now, but I was thinking theros because aloe of the pwople I talk to say it's more desire able at the moment, but I'm gonna stick with my gut and get a rtr.
