I'm trying to get into sealed/draft with older blocks. Im a standard player but have recently taken to older sets. What are some of the better sets, money isn't really an issue (aside from pre-fallen empires)

I'm a sucker for Alara block, but it's not necessarily easy to draft (based around 3-color decks, 3rd set has 0 mono color cards). However, even if its not easy, it's a lot of fun and the cards are some of my favorite.

Zendikar is fun to draft, too, and if you're lucky you can get fetch lands.

I would say look at making a cube

I like the tempest/ weatherlight story

Modern masters was made for drafting, if money isn't an issue, start there while they are still available. Outside that, I really liked the zendikar block, and I've noticed plenty of the original and returned mirridon blocks cards see play in modern, so they might be worth looking at too...

👆 Lorwyn is dang expensive for a reason. It's loaded with great cards and unique flavor. If you like tribes this one can be a blast!

Nokkan

I really enjoy Onslaught block.

This.

Modern masters was some of the funniest drafting I've done before

Buy a case and draft packs - don't open them up, resell a box or two to make some return

I have two of the three fat packs of this block. I love this block! I also want to get into Return to Ravnica but I don't have the money.
