With the new expansion coming out I am looking to order stuff in the U.S. where is the place I can get the best bang for my buck?

Prophylaxis

Any of the big MTG retailers (Starcitygames, Cardkingdom) are fine.

If you're wanting to get the biggest bang for your buck, though, I would pick up 4x uncommon/common playsets of eBay. Very cost effective and very cheap.

BlackJester

I have considered that, but I would just miss all of the booster opening excitement.

If you live in a * country like the UK, you risk being charged VAT and duty.

I know, right?!  It's like they want you to support local card vendors or something. 😉

He gets enough of my money and I always ask him if he will match the deals I find before I order

Sadly, smaller places just can't compete with volume sellers online. Now, if I think a local is overcharging for something, I'll get it elsewhere. ðŸ"«

Hes a good guy fair prices and takes care of me sometimes but when it's a difference of $30 plus I have to do what's best for me. But I go to drafts and bring more people with me

I agree. I'm buying my first common/uncommon playset on eBay! Booster packs are eating up too much of my money.

I don't buy packs except draft night. I'll save my money then buy a box

BlackJester

Well, some of my nefarious plans have yielded some returns, so I'll be getting a box an a Fatpack. I live the smell of booster packs in the morning. They smell like... victory. ðŸ'£

BlackJester
