Which Fat Pack to Purchase

Economics forum

I apologize for all of my posts. I am trying to figure out which fat pack has the most high value cards. I would prefer not to spend more than $40. I'm not sure if this matters but the primary format I play is EDH. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much

Anything from Zendikar (original or return) as the full art lands could fetch some value in the future.

If you have a commander or deck you're trying to build around, that would help narrow down the search. When i think of EDH, i think Multi colored, which can totally decide your game plan based on Commander. Shards of Alara, RTR, Khans all speak to the powerful multicolor and legendary creatures for EDH. If you're tribal, maybe Lorwyn would be a better choice? I cant speak to finding the best deal, but i doubt $40 is gonna cut it for most of the sets i mentioned.

Are there any specific cards from either of those sets that come to mind as cards of high value?

There isn't anything in particular I need. I just want the thrill of opening packs, I need the container it comes in, and I would like some return on my investment

Well, expeditions in BFZ and OGW. Zen, WWK and ROE have lots, but the odds of even finding one of those are slim. No inexpensive options there.

BFZ and OGW are still standard legal, but tbh I don't really follow standard card values these days.

Alright. Thank you for your input. I will need to do more research. Is there any particular website that deals with the values of cards (aside from MTG Stocks?)

If you manage to find an Original Zendikar fat pack, there's the possibility of opening old power cards like Moxen or other old staples. ZEN fat packs were in the first printrun of Zendikar, so they had this "Lost Treasure" promotion to get people to buy packs back in the day

Just food for thought

I'm looking for fatpacks with full art lands now. Would you guys happen to know which ones would have them?

For your budget, battle for zendikar or oath of the gatewatch. But I've seen battle for zendikar fat pack going for like 50 and up because people bought them out quick due to the full art land.

Thank you. I just purchased an Oath of Gatewatch Fat Pack. I am excited for the full art lands, and the box to keep all my cards. :)
