So here is my question to all you fine MTG players out there.

With the new set how will you collect? Do you go out and buy a box? Purchase just the hot cards? Draft only? Collect a full set online and redeem?

Today is release day and i'm pondering for myself the best way to go about this. In the past I have purchased and redeemed a full set online (I find most cards cheaper online to pick up).

What are your plans??

T take the cards from the prerelease and drafting and trade them for Legacy. Then sit and wait. Once prices drop I just buy the standard that I want.

Bought a few cards as playsets when they were worth it (bonfire at 4 ea, Ulvenwald Tracker and Zealous COnscripts at 1 ea), bought a box for trade fodder.

Drafting should be fun, though it's gonna be harder than most sets to value draft, since the set lacks anything resembling powerful uncommons or limited-unplayable money card like mox pearl (notable exceptions - Avacyn and Griselbrand).

Normally I select the cards I want from the visual spoiler and buy those singles, though I loved Innistrad enough to purchase the whole set, only in foil. Thought I might do the same for Dark Ascension and Avacyn Restored but those sets as a whole do not quite come together for me.

Maybe I should look at AVR as a complete stand-alone set, only barely related to Innistrad.

QFT, or in other words, just sell for cash and use them for eternal format stuff.

Anyone try the MTGO route? I find buying about $100 of tix and buying the uncommons/commens in bulk with junk rares is a great fast way to get a set to redeem.

Buy the bulk common/uncommons that look playable then wait a while till prices stabalize and get individual cards I want for decks.

In the meantime, trade away everything I get from prereleases.

I don't really care about the cards. Not gonna play Standard anyway.

I'll draft some stuff.

Draft, pick up singles for cheap later for casual formats.

Started writing down the cards I wanted for the art and the ones for decks, until I realized I want over 2/3 of the set for the art and about 40 cards for decks (not including multiple copies of a few).

So I will be saving up for a foil set.

Just do a lot of drafting, I believe the set is drafted 3x AVR so it should not be too hard to get a set.
