Post by: VQMracing on June 18, 2014, 04:17:13 PM
Does anybody think a box of new phyrexia would be worth it for $300?

But with MMA you're less likely to get what you want. With New Phyrexia you have a ton more stuff that's useful. Like {Gitaxian Probe} and {Vapor Snag} and {Mental Misstep}

All depends.  But I would first check eBay and Amazon. Then online card shops.

I wouldn't think that's a good deal. The value is in the mythics (and a couple of really valuable foils). $300 is over $8 a pack, so I doubt you could get that kind of value back out of it.

Lol you've gotta be new.

Did you even play with modern masters? You do realize what's in the set, correct?

I agree, but it looks like he is looking for new phyrexia cards, which are some of my absolute favorite... And if u are looking for that stuff then By all means get the box.
But if u are looking for pure value, get MMA.
All your preference.

If you're asking if value wise $300 is worth buying a box of new phyrexia, the answer is no. You can usually get one for under or around $200 or so. There's not much in there that's worth anything. A box of onslaught goes for around 350 and that has $400 foil potential....I would steer away and only buy single packs. Ask the place if they would crack the box if you were to buy a few packs

Where do you get boxes for that cheap?  I see them closer to $300

They have a trade show where I love and a lot of LGS go off those prices. They actually go for $250-275. They've gone up since I last checked a couple months ago....nothing has changed much value wise those, so idk why the price jump
