Which Booster Box Should I Get?
Economics forum

Long story short I'm getting a booster box of my choice as a Christmas present. I can choose between anything standard (Khaladesh, Eldritch Moon, and Shadows are the only ones I'm interested in) or a Conspiracy 2 or Eternal Masters box. I'm mostly an EDH player with possible-but-fleeting interest in standard. I love conspiracy 2, but I won't have as many friends to draft with this go around (already got a box once), so I'd mostly be just cracking it for trades or filling out the collection.
So, my dear friends, out of the sets listed, which would be best to crack for singles and value? EMN, SOI, Khaladesh, Conspiracy 2, or Eternal Masters?

Eternal masters 100%.
All the other stuff is going to lose value at some point.

While Eternal Masters has some veeery prized cards for commander (it also costs more, not certain if that'd matter for that family member of yours) I would choose Conspiracy2. I loved to draft it, and even if you don't draft it, it has several wanted cards for EDH, even at uncommon level.
Also Leovold, Emissary of Trest, Queen Marchesa and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or awesome commanders.

Well EMA is like $230.00ish? If you family member orders now they could get Kaladesh for $80 off channelfireball.
If you want pure value go for EMA but I'm not sure if the price will be a deterrent for whoever is ordering it.

And before anyone says it, I know it's wiser to get the singles, BUT it's a Christmas gift offered from a family member, so I'm getting one no matter what.
