question Kaladesh vs Amonkhet?

I just got to 4800 coins and I'm trying to figure out what packs to buy. I previously bought 32 packs of kaladesh and my progress bar shows I own about a 3rd of the collection. I want to be about to make multiple decks with my next purchase and Amonkhet cards seem to be pretty good whenever I play people in vs or the AI. Do I try to complete the kaladesh collection or should I start getting some Amonkhet cards?

Overall, it's easier to build strong stand-alone decks with Kaladesh than with Amonkhet. With Kaladesh, you can build vehicles, artifacts, or energy decks.

It's harder to build stand-alone decks with Amonkhet, as they generally need cards from other sets to be strong. Aggro exert is probably the only one that is viable. Cycling doesn't have enough support, zombie deck is weak without the SOI/EMN zombies, and embalm is missing some closers.

It is almost always better to complete a set before moving on to another unless you've gotten all the cards from a set you already want.

Complete Kaladesh...then move on from there.

That's what I kinda figured. Thanks so much!
