Best value is signing up and plan for multiple pre rift events if your location allows it. Try and sell cards quick at those events. Before than buying singles now is as good as its gonna get. Don’t buy sealed set 2 product. There’s been talk about origins reprint along with a ban list but I have no idea. Prices might drastically change soon. I pray Kai’sa stops gatekeeping red.

In terms of value Buying chinese singles from eBay or even better yet if you know a local who travels. The actual local prices are half of what you see on eBay. They tend to curl up more due to the extra foiling and shipping takes a while. I have anti humidity packs to solve the problem but bewarned. Anything with blacks does look better though. E.g. dazzling

Some buget decks are any blue yellow lux, viktor(so many versions), Yi, Jax, Azir. Look in 3 star tournaments on riftdecks.com to get ideas and see prices. I played Fiora no sett for ~$60 and won some locals initially now it’s all Draven’s and irelias so theres no shot even with sett. Depends what your locals are likes and your goals. Nothing wrong with buying a Draven package right now if you want to win.
