okay so i am considering making a invest in magic cards. i will note right away i am a casual player looking to just have godo oevrall cards to play with with friends.
and i am not sure what to do: i am going to the championship thing solely for the awesome elder dinosaur fuull art card, i really just want one.
however, my card store is far away from where i live so i rarely go there. i usually play other places with friends.
so should i just buy some kaladesh and revolt packs when i am there, wait for rivals
or wait even longer until dominaria arrives? ofcourse you guys arent wizards either. but what would you pick?
i will note that i am a big fan of the older fashion cards, i have always liked the cards from my old mtg 2015 toolkit tyhe most though sadly i have lost most due to the event of my first card trade, which as you can imagine... went badly. so if dominaria is that route i will give it some extra points to buy packs from that set. i slightly dislike basically all current standart legal sets. merfeolk mehhhh, mummies mehhhhh, vehicles ehhhh? innistrad... oh F*** that set i have never had so many bad cards from a set as innistrad, it can die in a hole.. only good came from it is the commander decks.
You'll have to explain what you mean by invest. Are you looking for cards to actually invest in, meaning valuable cards that will keep or gain in value? Or do you mean cards you could use to play in Standard that are good enough to win?
The last few blocks should be fine: Ixalan, Kaldesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet, Hour of Devastation. And Magic Origins! Plus, since these are Standard sets, lots of players are also using them and can help you out.

What kind of games are you playing right now in MtG? Are you mostly going in and doing draft / limited?

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
cards to play with... mostly fun cards, not neccesarily all too Op cards or anything.
Kaladesh and Aether Revolt would have more powerful cards overall but is rotating out in nine months. Still enough time to play with but some people don't think otherwise. If you're one of them I would just go with Ixalan but wait until Rivals come out in a few weeks too.

From the sounds of it maybe you should go with Return to Ravnica era cards instead of standard. M15 is still around and you can easily buy up singles from the secondary market for it. The booster boxes for just about all those sets are fairly affordable as well.
