I was wondering could I play 1 or 2 Banefire be a good fit for gr tron. If infect is a big in my local meta could i sideboard 2 or 3 Melira, Sylvok Outcast
So I've recently gotten back into mtg after a very long break(last played ravnica/timespiral) and i am looking to by a box or two so i can get some good cards trade value. My question is what modern set(s) have the best value when buying booster boxes? I first thought zendikar because of all the fetch lands being around $100 but then i realized that the boxes go for like 600 so that's not really an option (at least not immediately). Modern Masters is like 300 a box but it only comes with 24 packs. What should I get?
So I have recently gotten back into MTG after a very long break (last played ravnica/timespiral) and i would like to take a stab at modern. I found this UW Gifts Tron deck that did well on MTGO, but i had a few questions on why they chose certain cards.
