Hi all, I am thinking about buying a box to stash away for a few years and then crack open and draft for some good nostalgia.
Im not looking to break the bank but am wondering what recent set has been your preferred limited experience. Conspiracy 2 is already on the list but I was also thinking of KTK for the tri flavor and strong set.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

EDH BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern: RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.
RTR is really fun, with the guildgates and guildmages it was always pretty consistent to set up guild themed decks. Otherwise I'd go for either OG Innistrad or if you have to, SOI because that plane had really quality tribal support
Khans was pretty deep. Kaladesh is lovely too. BFZ block is regrettably not the best, and I didn't love Theros like I wanted to, but I really liked Shadows Over Innistrad. For the purposes of draft, you should get a large set, but beyond that, you can't go too wrong.
The best I've ever had (I've come back during Khans of Tarkir, so my experience is limited) is Eternal Masters. If the price wasn't so high, I'd be drafting it every day. There are very powerful strategies and synergies there, but there simply isn't enough boosters (or money in my pocket) to test them all.
Otherwise, I'll go with Origins, which was rather fun with Spell Mastery and especially Renown. One of my best drafts was building a mono-green Stompy deck. Close third is triple Khans of Tarkir: Morph is an incredibly fun mechanic for draft, there are powerful 3 color cards and there is good mana fixing. It would probably be second if I had had more time to play it.
Local game store is doing a RTR draft this Sunday. Having never played it, I'm quite anxious to see it.
Kaladesh and Eldrich Moon were my two favourite draft environments from recent history. Kaladesh was a very rich draft with lots of intricacies once people figured out that you need to interact with the excessively aggressive decks, and Eldrich Moon had a ton of fun archetypes (Emerge and Spells were amazingly fun to play and draft).
