Fat pack or booster box

[Ptsgpbk]

hey I have the cash to go out and buy any booster box but I was thinking, is it worth it because the set I want (born of the gods) has only 1 card I am after, Brimaz for an edh deck.
Is it worth me just buying a fat pack and hoping for the best which means I can buy more individual cards I need and a journey into nyx fat pack as well?

Or you could just buy the singles you need, instead of getting a bunch of cards you don't need. There also no gaurentee that you'll even pull the card you're looking for

The box is not worth it bng is €ra¥ but I had bought a fat pack and pulled him first pack.. Do not have him any more. The other sets are better. I say trade for him

[Ptsgpbk]

I know that but as a new player I woul like to try and boost my binder with cards

[MuggyWuggy]

Buy a box of theros or nyx - you may have some extra money leftover to buy brimaz
Or trade for him with pulls

[ibtrickey]

I say nyx. Then trade for him:)

[ibtrickey]

And get the box from eBay.. So much cheaper

[Ptsgpbk]

Nobody in my area has one and any online prices are way to high for me

[Ptsgpbk]

I can't find any iPod money cards in nyx, and I know a website which sells boxes for £80

[rarehuntertay]

I would go with a New Phyrexia, Innistrad or Return to Ravnica box... If you really want boxes. Those will have more value in the long run than Theros

[Ptsgpbk]

By that I mean cards in accordance to tcgplayer that are of any good value to me

[Ptsgpbk]

The only cards I am after from RTR are mythics so no point in me buying it that's why I am currently trading for them

[DrainCleaner]

I don't understand why people buy fatpacks. They have 9 packs and (at least at my lgs) you can just get 10 packs for the same price.

[Ptsgpbk]

At mine, a fat pack costs £33 whereas 10 packets would cost me £35.90

[MuggyWuggy]

I used to love the extras but after 4 shitty ones. I'm over fatpacks waste of money, I would rather crack a box.

RTR is really good to get if you can afford a box or get one the price as JoU

Shocks
Abrupt decay
Deathrite
Sphinx rev

These alone are in eternal formats and will only go up after rotation.

I see your reasoning of wanting more cards; but every magic player will tell you that you will eventually have more than enough cards.

A trade binder full of junk rares will not move faster than a trade binder with 20 amazing cards that are sought after.


Also PROTIP: Try not to trade your eternal format items (deathrite/shocks) for standard items of equal value. Eternal items should get a trade that will not decrease in value.
