Title: Which to buy?
Post by: respawned on February 05, 2014, 10:53:24 PM
I'm thinking of investing in a booster box of either return to ravnica or gatecrash...what are some arguments for each?

I'm getting 2 gatecrash because it has quite a few rares I need, plus the shock lands in it are more sought after than the ones in rtr. Also, is imagine deathrite shaman is going to go down because it just got banned and that was one of the most, if not the most, valuable cards in the set.

RTR still has pack rat
Cyc rift
Shocks
Deathrite (he's still used in legacy and standard)
Desecration demon
Ash zealot
Jace architect

AND this will be one of the last prints for RTR going on right now (if its not the last)

Gate crash has a lot of great stuff, but I don't think it out values the potential of RTR

Ah, you beat me to it with your edit. I'd personally go with an RtR box.

And {nightveil Spector} for gatecrash

Now that I actually looked at some of them listed out like that I'm thinking I need more (of the more valuable as well as the lesser) from gatecrash...appreciate the input :)
