We recently started playing magic with our kids... bought the MTG Game night set and a few Throne of Eldraine boosters. Loving it. We bought the Commander Anthology II set for some more serious commander playing and thinking about buying also the Commander Anthology I set.
The kids want to learn more about deck-building and we're thinking of buying a couple of booster boxes and running some fun kitchen-counter "draft" evenings to learn how to draft, construct a basic deck and play.
HOWEVER, I'd like to buy 2 booster boxes from different sets for some variety in the cards and I would ideally like them eventually to be as useful as possible in future gameplay - i.e. to strengthen some of the commander decks and have more variety.
What booster boxes would you recommend I should go with as priority 1 and 2?
If cost isn't an issue then I would suggest masters sets as they have an overall higher power level meaning you will get more 'playable' cards. If that's not the case then I would suggest one of each of the recent Ravnica sets to get plenty of multicolor support. Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance.
Many thanks!
How would you compare War of the Spark vs Throne of Eldraine in playability? ...I don't care particularly about "competitive format" - ie what is tournament legal for which standard and what will rotate out when, just casual play.
Thanks!
If you want to teach them about deckbuilding, I'd recommend the Trounce-O-Matic precon from Odyssey. Not exactly what you were asking for but it's a good way to teach synergy with various mechanics. Boxes, Mirrodin and Urza's Saga.

Throne is fun to draft but I personally feel it has less reusability in commander decks due to the semi focus on monocolor.
