I usually snag a box of a new set, just because I'm able to trade around and get most of what I'd want quickly before prices stabilize. There's a fair number of $5 cards that I think will end up seeing play, and at least a handful of popular cards that will trade easily like Mutavault and Ooze. Unfortunately, my luck with pulling those cards was really bad, and I ended up with quite a few bulk rares. I very cheaply preordered a number of cards that have shot up into the $3-5 range, so I was hoping to snag extras to trade away, but oddly enough I pulled almost none of the cards I had preordered sets of. It's probably the unluckiest box of cards I've ever opened.
The good news is there's only a handful of cards remaining I actually want from the set. Hydras and Archangels are overheated right now and will almost certainly drop significantly, as will Chandra and Garruk. I really only want to finish sets of Mutavault, Lifebane Zombie and Fiendslayer Paladin and I'll be done for now. It's a set I want to make sure I have covered by rotation since new cards will almost certainly rise to the surface, but I just don't see myself playing a lot of Hydras or Archangels right now.
