Interesting tournament coming up at a store near me.You pick 6 packs from a set and make a sealed deck You can pick:
Mirrodin ($60)
Shards of Alara ($30)
Zendikar ($72) (sold out)
Rise of Eldrazi ($60) (sold out)
Avacyn ($30)
M11 Japanese ($25)
M12 ($30)
M13 ($30)
M14 ($30)
Theros ($30)
3 innistrad 3 Dark Ascension ($36)
Scars (cant remember if its the whole block) ($30)
Odyssey (can't remember if its the block) ($40)
Modern Masters ($60) (sold out)
RTR block ($30)
Lorwyn ($60?) There are 32 players. each block gets 2 players. First/second gets a FTV 20 set. 3rd/4th get a foil zen fetch, 5-8th get 2 packs drafted from each of the sets in play. So, assuming I'm an above average player, which set out of the ones left should I play to maximize value? I like M12 but the cards are all worthless. M14 is worth more but the cards are underpowered. Which should I pick? Also, are the Zen/ROE/MMA players gonna smoke everyone?

from my knowledge,don't pick: a core set
ROE
AVR
Scars Since its sealed deck zendikar seems weaker. RTR/INN/Mirrodin seem like good bets to me.

original mirrodin can be insane. 6x mirrodin packs? do that.__________________

Feels like RTR seems bad though because you have to use 2 packs from each set in the block. There would be too many unplayables cause of all the gold cards right?

If you don't pick Shards, then you are a fool...

My preference, in order would be:ROE
SOA
LRW
INN/DAS The SOA one is super sexy at that price, though.

Depends. What kind of prize support are you looking at? Because if you're going for the win, I would probably go with Lorwyn or a core set. If it's not worth it, Lorwyn or Shards of Alara.

M13 if you want to win (seriously, check the common/uncommon removal options in the set), LOR or ALA if you want decent value and a decent chance at a powerful pool.Sucks ZEN is taken, R/W landfall or B/R killthings.dec are pretty absurd options, even in sealed.

Tribal in sealed could be strong so I would go with Lorwyn.

Lorwyn is terrible. It's possibly only better than triple saviors of kamigawa.

MM would definitely be the best, Mirrodin is a really fast set so in sealed you could do some serious damage, I would go that route.

Mirrodin. Warhammer and Crystal Shard are both bomb uncommons that can totally take over a game.__________________

Oh man, Odyssey just for the sheer legacy of playing madness or treshold. Mongrel or Werebear T2. Ah good times.__________________
