Hello everyone, I'm a player wanting to return to the game and I want to buy a sealed booster box to just open some packs and get a collection growing. I know that it's best to buy singles to a deck I want to play but I just want the feeling of opening some packs again. So, with that in mind, which would be a good box to buy to get some good cards, some staples for the new formats and all that. Most likely I'll play modern since I have some cards from when I used to play that could start some decks in that format. Thank you for your opinion.
Buy Dominaria. There are so many legendary cards and lots of old reprints. There is even a new Karn Karn, Scion of Urza and a new mox, Mox Amber! Looks like a good set to me.
For the price, Iconic Masters is pretty good. Stay away from Masters 25 because that is still falling on value and will probably keep going for a while. Dominaria is in a super hype mode at the moment and all the card values are inflated, so the box will feel good to open, but unless you are playing standard most of the cards are sort of okay.
If I were to really push for a good box to open at the moment it would be Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash. Those are two very good sets, the lands are out of this world, and the sets contain plenty of under appreciated gems.
RTR has the following known staples or former staples:
and shocklands. Namely, Steam Vents and the other ones for the supported guilds. The only reason a lot of those cards mentioned above are not worth a ton of money is because of the reprints hitting them, but it's really just a matter of time before the boxes climb into Avacyn Restored range.

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!
