Kiora, BFZ, or SoI Big Box?

I've got 825 crystals saved up and I want to know where to spend them. Obviously Kiora is so powerful, I'd like to get her as my first dual color planeswalker, but I'm also missing a few of the great rares and mythics from BFZ, and would love to get an early start on collecting the SoI packs in order to keep up with the new dynamics of the game.

What's the general opinion of people on these options?

I currently have 391 cards broken up as:

178 Origins
    (a) 2 Mythics (b) 19 Rares (c) 74 uncommons (d) 83 commons
166 BFZ
    (a) 3 Mythics (b) 8 Rares (c) 62 Uncommons (d) 93 Commons
35 from the BFZ expansion
    (a) 4 Mythics (b) 9 Rares (c) 22 Uncommons (d) 0 Commons
12 from SoI
    (a) 0 Mythics (b) 0 Rares (c) 3 Uncommon (d) 9 Commons

My Mythics are:
    Tyrant of Valakut Bane of Bala Ged Dreadwaters Akoum Firebird Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet Bring to Light Tragic Arrogance (sigh) Mirrorpool and Kozliek's Return

I have the first five PWs (three at 60, one almost at 60, one at 39) and Koth at level 60.

There's obviously so much still to acquire, with precious few resources to acquire them. Obviously as they try and encourage new spending, the old cards and planeswalkers will get "balance adjusted", and there will likely be some power creep on the new stuff.

What do you think?

    A non-Shadows big box is likely to get you approximately 3 cards you don't already own, and 2 of those are likely to be uncommon.

    If you're after play value, I'd get Kiora. Especially since planeswalkers can apparently disappear from the store without prior notice.

    Get Kiora.

    She will help you move up the rankings in PvP events and win more prizes.

    Get Kiora, she's uber powerful even without the best cards, so she'll help you win crystals and master cards.
  • Well, I got a Sol big box, and I massively regret it. The cards seem pretty awful except for a select few. I think I got one card I was actually interested in playing, and even then only in certain circumstances. This feels like one of the old paper sets that comes out and players immediately realize how bad it is.

    At least with origins or BFZ, you know you'll get some decent cards.

    I must have way lower standards than you, spotted at least 3 commons and 6 uncommons I wouldn't mind having over a bad rare.
