Bundles: HOU vs XLN
Economics forum

Hello,
I am going to buy a Bundle and was wondering which one between Hour of Devastation and Ixalan would be best.
Hour of Devastation: slight chance at masterpieces (but ever so slightly that this is not a reason for me to specifically buy it)
Ixalan prices right now are still higher than Hour of Devasation, however prices will probably go down a lot and find itself around same price as HOU
Ixalan doesn't rotate at the same time as hour of devastation
Hour of Devastation has the Gods, Ixalan has vraska and her black removal
(If we look at drafts: Ixalan is less fun than hour of devastation, but that is normally with 1 pack of amonkhet)
Ixalan box has sweet art for sure
So, which one do you think I should get? Or should I just flip a coin?
I really liked HOU bundles, bought 2... But I like My Ixalan Cards a lot more than HOU. Vraska is super cool, theres solid tribal cards, and also like a ton of Vampires, which I have a soft spot for.
If you want to play one of the 4 tribes of Ixalan, get that, if you don't, get HOU

The only thing that's important is the artwork on the box - pick whichever one you like the most.
If you're looking for cards, it is ALWAYS cheaper to get the cards you want than to open packs and hope for the best.
You MIGHT get lucky and open cards worth the price of the bundle - in Hour, that basically requires pulling a Scarab God or an Invocation, in Ixalan that more or less requires pulling Vraska, Hostage Taker, or Carnage Tyrant. That's not a gamble worth it.

HOU has The Scarab God and Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh. HOU is the clear winner to me.
