I AM PLANNING TO GET A BOX OF CARDS AFTER MY O LEVELS SO THAT I CAN MAKE TONS OF DECK AND PLAY WITH MY COUSIN. however i dont want a ROR box as all my cousins are buying ROR boxes and if i were to buy our deck would ended up being the same anyway. So can anyone recommend me if i shoud get an innistrad box or avacyn box?

I would advise buying RTR instead of either of those sets. However, if those are your only options, go with Avacyn Restored.
In Innistrad, you get dual lands, planeswalkers, Snapcaster Mage , and some staple creatures/spells.
Avacyn Restored has the legendary creatures, Cavern of Souls , Restoration Angel , Bonfire of the Damned , Entreat the Angels , Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , and Temporal Mastery .

Honestly, I would suggest getting a mix of cards from Inistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Returns, 2013 Core, and the Return to Ravnica sets. They tend to work much better mixed than separate. Just last night on the wizards webpage for daily MTG I was reading an article on the Golgari that had cards from all the sets, that focused on sending things to the graveyard to allow you to pick and choose what you brought back. Without the older cards the newer cards strategies wouldn't of worked as well.

RtR, who doesn't want 36 tries at any foil shock-land?

@zandl
And seeing that shock-lands are rares as opposed to mythics, you may get more than one if you're a lucky bastard.

Exactly. Since I you usually open 3-4 dual-lands in boxes of Core Sets, your odds are the same in a box of RtR. With 5 potential good pulls out of a pack, your chances go up 500% to get a good card.
And if it's not the shock-land you wanted, there'll always be someone to trade one with you.

well i wanted to make a deck with snapcaster in it and the deck is filled with cards like mana leak as i enjoy this type of gameplay. i hate summoning my creatures to get it destroyed or well essence scattered. but after some research many say that it is impossible to make this type of decks anymore as they are rotating out.any other deck types to recommend and the box to buy? oh i dont want singles because i think a box is better as i will have alot of spare cards to use in the future if i am making anothe rdeck

i think most will say you should get RtR anyway lol just for the shock lands! I would offer real advise but I buy singles and play EDH so im afraid i would be useless to advise, but yeah get RtR box man it will be so much better than everything that has been printed in the past few years IMO! and there are 5 guilds to pick from not to mention that you can just go golgari zombies for example which only use some of the RtR cards making your deck different straight away
