About to buy somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 packs, what packs should I get?
Alpha booster are sold out at around 2k, so that would run you only about 50k, if you can ever find 25 alpha packs.

Around here you can get a booster box for the price of 25 boosters, so I'd check if that is worth it for you (maybe a couple of bucks for an extra 11 boosters).
Then you need to tell what you want to use it for...

I'd never crack an Alpha booster but I'd definitely buy one (not 25). I'm buying simply to open them

I'd get a standard box like SOI or BFZ (if you like lottery), that way you can trade/sell the cards you don't want to keep.
And I'd wait for a store to open :)

Conspiracy. Why? Idk. I personally haven't opened any up. But dack fayden is a thing.

@DarkMagician if I'm correct, you literally buy random packs and draft with them.

What cards are you looking to get for your decks? Just buy singles instead of opening packs. Or at least go online and buy a standard legal box for $90 instead of paying $4/pack at retail.

Honestly? RTR, GTC, and DGM. Criminally underrated imho. Sure, they're not as fun as RAV/DIS/GPT, but it's still a great block.
As for value, shock lands are creeping towards $20, and cards like Voice of Resurgence, Abrupt Decay, and Legion Loyalist have a fair bit of value.
