I know this has been asked a million times, but I keep forgetting what everyone thinks.
I'm looking to get 2-3 booster boxes. I am looking to get a set or a couple sets with the most value cards in them. I don't really sell my personal cards, but instead use them as trade fodder.
What set or sets do you guys believe the best would be and why?
I've went on TCG player and looked up the price list of all of the recent sets and still can't decide.
Nothing from theros block. I'd suggest Ravnica because the last printings are happening now. If you're stuck between value cards:
Gatecrash value cards:
{Gideon, Champion of Justice}
{Aurelia's Fury}
{Domri Rade}
{Boros Reckoner}
{Obzedat, Ghost Council}
{Duskmantle Seer}
{Aurelia, the Warleader}
{Nightveil specter}
{Prime Speaker Zegana}
{Breeding Pool}
{Godless Shrine}
{Sacred Foundry}
{Stomping Ground}
{Watery Grave}
{Lazav, Dimir Mastermind}
Value cards in rtr:
{Sphinx's Revelation}
{Deathrite Shaman}
{Vraska the Unseen}
{Jace, Architect of Thought}
{Abrupt Decay}
{Blood Crypt}
{Hallowed Fountain}
{Overgrown Tomb}
{Steam Vents}
{Temple Garden}
{Angel of Serenity}
{Rakdos's Return}
{Rakdos Lord of Riots}
{Detention Sphere}
{Armada Wurm}
{Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius}
{Tostani, Selesnya's Voice}
{Lotleth Troll}
Are you purely looking for standard cards?

No. Not really.
Though I am on a budget, so 300$ boxes won't do.
So my connection is out of stock on the box I want.
Can anyone suggest some pretty inexpensive websites that offer a wide variety of sets?
I might go new phyrexia if I were u
Does anyone have a website they like more than others because of their prices and or selection?
I've looked at all the ones I can think of, but I'm hoping to get some others.
Not many replies.... Does no one buy booster boxes?
Sorry man, but I buy standard boxes from my LGS, which you manage (figuratively). So you are essentially asking me if I should buy born of the gods, or more born of the gods? Sorry I can't be of much help. Personally a big fan of lorwyn (first planeswalker release), but I have no clue if there's any money in it.
Well thanks for the response. Sometimes that's all I ask for. :).
I won't be back to Nevada until the end of next month or I would just buy a box from there. Darn it.
Not sure how they are on all boxes but my toybiz.com had the lowest preorder price on botg I could find
New Phyrexia boxes are running ~$200 right now and have some great values (Karn, Batterskull, Obliterator).
And all the praetors and spellskite and all the phyrexian mana stuff
Okay guys. Going to buy another box here either later today or tomorrow from my buddies game store.
He's got cheaper prices than any online retailer, much better. Also carries older sets in English and several other languages.
So what else should I get???
TCG player has great prices on single and sealed and ships fast
eBay is the cheapest! Plus there are best offers where you can offer an ammount and get free shipping. Can get standard for $86 with free ship!!

I support local business if I can. This LGS can sell them to me at 90$. Which is much better.

I happen to own my own game store, so I know how tough the online competition is versus brick and mortar stores.
It's very tough, but you'll get the people who aren't fat and lazy and who enjoy going out.
I have, however, been to a store near me that charges 155$ a box. That's insanity. They charge 4$ a pack, and that's how they count it. They don't do any kind of deals. This is probably why a lot of people stop going to brick and mortar stores. Bad experiences.
I ended up buying another RtR box. Haha. Still the most value.
I'll post the pulls here soon.
