There's casual event going on at my lgs and you start by picking a plane and making a sealed deck from that plane. Inistrad is either my first or 2ND fav plane switches with ravnica. So I'm picking that.
I was wondering what the composition should be. Should I do 2 of each set or maybe 3&3 inistrad and dark ascension as I've heard that limited environment was good.
I think, that largely depends on how much undying you want, since that was the most impactful featured mechanic in Dark Ascension. With both sets being represented, your pool will also be much more diverse. In contrast, with only Innistrad boosters your pool will be more consistent (but still very diverse) with higher chances of getting multiples of some cards.
So undying and diversity/consistency, those are the main criteria to guide your decision, in my opinion. Gambling on getting any specific card, however, should not be a factor, since even with improved chances, those chances are still very low. (Like getting 6 lottery tickets instead of one. Higher chances, yes, but still most likely a waste.)
I'll have to look closer into that cause undying is pretty fun. Also there's the benefit of not needing to buy 6 inistrad packs. What's your thoughts on avacyn restored I've h are mixed things about it.
Wasn't really going for pulling any card in particular one of my main reasons for choosing inistrad block is I love the cards in the set in general so even without pulling my favorite strategy it's still going to have cards I want to play. Unless I pull to much blue I'm bad at playing that color.
Avacyn Restored was designed as a stand alone edition for Limited. While it does have some juicy cards like all modern sets, I think, for what you have in mind it should be left out. Innistrad and Dark Ascension were meant to be played together in Limited, Avacyn Restored was not meant to be part of that mix. Also, that set doesn't have any double faced cards, so you will have less of those if you inlcude packs of that set.
