Booster Box Question
General forum
Posted on March 5, 2021, 11:25 a.m. by I_Want_To_PlayAllTheDecks
I am interested in buying a booster box for a little bit of value and to crack some packs to break the monotony of life right now. The problem is I don't really know what to get. I want something that has some decent value but also isn't $250+. I want to expand my collection and maybe find some fun cards to build around, I am also mainly a commander player. The couple boxes I have been looking at so far are iconic masters and Modern Horizons, along with Gatecrash for a cheaper option. Any help would be much appreciated.

Modern Horizons has some pretty fun cards to build around and some decent value for the price. I opened a box of Iconic Masters when it was a little cheaper and got some good cards out of it. I wouldn't expect to get the value back for either though, since boxes of each have gone up quite a bit.
The best boxes I have ever opened were from Ravnica Allegiance. I opened two boxes and got a Smothering Tithe and 4 shock lands in each. Ended up building Teysa Karlov as well, so that was fun.
My buddy has opened a couple boxes of Commander Legends and has gotten some great cards out of it. It's still selling for around $140/box and if you mainly play commander, you will probably get several useful cards out of it.

Anything with good rare lands. Like, seriously, just grab something with good rare lands.
Those are
-
Most Ravnica sets
-
KTK
-
MH1
-
Commander Legends
-
Battlebond
-
One of the two Kaladesh sets, the one with Fast Lands
-
Dominaria
-
Ixalan(not RIX)

TriusMalarky, Yeah that was sorta my thought process, I was thinking Khans at first but the cheapest English box is like $300 on TCG player. Battlebond is around the same. I've opened some commander legends and want something different. Ixalan does look nice, but kaladesh is suuuper expensive because of the masterpieces. Thanks for the input everyone, I'll keep it in mind.

Get a KTK box on Cardkingdom.com. They're 200 solid, so 225ish with tax

Omniscience_is_life, I didn't see that - Thanks for pointing it out! My only problem with KTK is if I don't hit any fetches the whole box is just a dumpster fire, i mean except for fetches there is no value anywhere and like none of the rares are even playable. Thats why I like MH1 cuz the lands are nice but almost all of the mythics are above 5$ and there are some seriously expensive cards.

It looks like MH1 is gonna fit your needs -- some good lands, and as you said yourself, plenty of playable rares/mythics that are worth money.
I do think it's funny how KTK is almost entirely supported by fetchland prices. Yaaaay best lands in the game being absurdly expensive . . . at least they're not as expensive as OG duals.
