What is the best value to get a fat pack a booster box or an intro deck I know that the cheapest is an intro deck but what's better to get?

I go booster box because I have more fun opening that many packs! The anticipation... 😢πŸ’₯

Most stores have it set up so buying a booster box will be the most bang for your buck.  I personally buy a booster box and fat pack for each set.  Fat packs are nice because they come with a great storage box, 2 deck boxes, 80 lands, 9 booster packs, and a spindown life counter.  I personally never buy intro decks because I love making my own decks.  Even if I don't get great cards, I still always make the best deck I can with what I was given, figure out what works and what doesn't and buy the cards that I still need.  At my store, boxes are like $100, fat packs are like $35, and packs are $3.  Personally up to you at what you choose to do, but that is what I like to do.  Hope this helps.

If you're looking strictly for value, buying singles (not packs) is likely going to be the easiest on your wallet in the long run.

If you're dead-set on booster packs (they are fun to open, that's for sure), your best value is probably from a booster box. Or from 'limited' style game nights - I get my valuables almost exclusively from drafting at FNM every week.

This ^^^ if your looking for a snappy just buy one rather then trying to pull one from innistrad boosters. I've made this mistake before. You buy 10 boosters at 3.80 a piece and don't pull one...that's a heartache we all don't need lol

Yep. But when you pull that Lilly and GoST it makes it all worth it.

Well, alpha. Lol, I like to crack packs because of anticipation. I just get the latest set, but if my lgs has like a Eldrazi pack, I get that. Imma sucker for 15/15 lol.

I think that Common and Uncommon Boxes beat them all.  It gives you a playset of every common and uncommon in the set for about $40.

Where do you get those Gleemax? That sounds like a really good deal.

rarehuntertay

Most online card stores offer them, like scg or trollandtoad

I was on Starcitygames.com and they have a Variety Pack. It's a $174.99 for a booster box, a fat pack and the set of 5 intro packs, I was thinking about getting it for Theros. Opinions? Better deals?
