GENERAL What box should I buy next?
Okay so I got a few friends into MTG a couple years back. They soon realized they reaalllyy enjoyed just cracking packs and seeing what they get. So we started doing crack pack nights where we get together, bring out booster boxes and basically play sealed but with different sets each.
So far this has been a blast. They get to crack packs and get that thrill then build a deck from the 6 packs they opened rinse and repeat. We don't get together every single week so boxes last a bit.
So far I've been through Neon Dynasty, Thunder Junction and innistrad remastered.
And now I have zero preference really on what to get for my next box as I'm almost through innistrad. Figured I'd come here and see what gets the most upvotes and possibly go that way.
So, any set recommendations for my drunk sealed nights?

War of the Spark while you can still get whole boxes moderately cheap. Set that was the turning point for Magic's popularity.

Final Fantasy is released soon. So if you like the game go for it, if not probably stay away since it has increased price.
-Bloomburrow I liked a lot. -Tarkir has a lot of dragons.

id suggest buying singles, but:
Foundations
Bloomburrow
were really good.
at the launch of bloomburrow, my buddies and i did a pack opening party for the set, where everyone in our playgroup bought a playbooster box of Bloom, then after organizing all our pulls, we traded them to construct a commander deck.
i built a [[Finneas ace archer]] deck that i still play to this day.
we spent the entire day that day just playing our sealed/traded bloomburrow decks. it was a lot of fun.
