If you were going to purchase any booster box from Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash, Dragon's Maze, Theros, Born of the Gods, Journey into Nyx or M15.
Which box, would you buy for the listed reasons:
1: Booster draft.
2: Standard playability. (excluding RTR block)
3: Most value now $$$
4: Most value down the road (card prices shooting up in a years time?)
I'm looking for input on the following reasons because when I get the box I always draft it with friends first. Trade the super valuable stuff I wont use, work on standard decks and finally hold onto cards that people speculate will increase in time. Id love to hear what YOU guys personally would do.
Khans of Tarkir is not an option (I already own a bunch.)

Theros would be good, since it's still in standard rotation and contains quite a few valuable cards (like Thoughtseize and Stormbreath Dragon).

In lets say 6 months time or whenever Theros rotates out due to the new block structure. what will be a better value? Theros or Return to Ravnica?

Based on comment #5, it seems you're unaware that Theros doesn't rotate until Fall 2015. The new rotation schedule effectively kicks in during spring 2016.

The only issue with drafting RTR is everyone will be grabbing for shocklands but other than that I think that's the best bet

RTR/Gatecrash because they have shocklands.
JOU because I bet there will always be those special people who will buy the product in truckloads hoping for a godpack.

Personally Return to Ravnica, not as much value now but more value long term with shocks and Deathrite Shaman .
