hey guys for my B-Day in 10 days i want to get a booster box and a custom deck, But i want to know which booster box I should get? Im currently thinking getting gatecrash as it is modern legal and has valuable shocks for dimir and other dimir cards which I somewhat need. (Remember I don't DESPERATELY need them but I could use them. P.S my budget is 130$ (so far) 100$ for the BB and 30$ for the deck and sleeves.
If you have access to buying singles, I'd just buy 4 watery graves and then go nuts on whatever other old stuff you want to get with the other $60.
It requires a bit more research but the singles market is pretty saturated with these lands right now.
Plus, Dimir got shafted pretty hard in general. One of its more fun cards, Notion Thief, is in Dragon's Maze, which no one will ever want to open in 10 years.
If a booster box is what you really want then I would also suggest Kahns. You wont get your Dimir cards but you should get some fetches which are trade gold. Save a bit of cash on the box to put towards your deck and get some relevant trade material. I would say though that you might be better off just buying the cards you want instead of opening a box and trading for them.
Is it smart to get MM2015 in pre-order or to wait till release? For price I mean. For the anthology, it dropped 100 dollars within a few weeks of sale. I am gonna un a couple boxes so saving money is key.

At current prices, I'd be tempted to wait and see what happens. You can always lock down a box at $240 in case you're afraid of it jumping higher, but I'm not sure I'd advise that right now as I think demand might be a bit higher than normal due to Vendilion Clique being spoiled yesterday morning. Give it 48 hours, see where prices are, then make a decision.
Of course if saving $20 doesn't mean much to ya, go ahead and order now, I don't think you'll see MM15 dip much below MSRP.
Ok. Also, where should be the best place to buy it from?
I'd suggest calling up all of your local game shops if you have any near by...and ask them if they'll be selling any of the boxes they'll be getting and for how much. Perhaps you can get a good deal from them and support your gaming community a bit to boot.
If not...then go with ebay.
Another question (that will really determine how many I get) is whether or not they will actually skyrocket, and how much you think they will go up by. The issue is, because of MM, everyone thinks it'll be a gold mine, so the whole set will bubble over on itself, which ends in wizards lucking out, and us sitting on boxes.

It drafts well also. Don't open a box unless you are going to draft.
Polluted delta kind of more important for dimir in modern anyway.
