What would you do with a box of modern masters?

I Just recently won a box of modern masters 2015 at my local game store and I'm kinda up in the air with what to do with it. I only recently got into magic (2013) so I don't have many modern cards and I play strictly standard, unless its at home with a few friends. So what should I do? Have a draft with some buds and ad the cards to my collection, sell the box sealed or open it and try to sell off the valuable singles? as it stands now I'm leaving the box sealed until I figure this dilemma out.
Thats up to you. MM2 has a bunch of fun cards for deck building in general, and there is always the chance of opening the super money foils, though its still a low chance. You could sell it a little less than market value if you wanted to get some more cash, especially where since you play primarily standard, that will only help you in the long run since standard is an expensive format. That can probably get you a solid part of a top standard deck. The next option is to open it, keep the cards and get into modern! Hope that helps a bit!
Edit: got scooped almost word for word lol

well, I would say open it, sleeve it and use it as good draft material, but then I realized you said modern masters 2.

Put it in your closet and forget that you have it for 5 years. Then sell it.

eventually from playing standard the cards you played will rotate out and then possibly be good for modern. Eventually, you will therefore play modern (possibly) so opening it could get you some nice stuff for the future! Best value is selling sealed for sure

Try your besr to Sit on it. It'll increase in value. BUUUUUT if you're like me that'll last only a month at most because I'm a dirty pack cracker.
But seriously, try and hold onto it. You'll get your money's worth that way.

Thank you everybody for the amazing feedback!! I think for now I will try to sit on it, SOI should at least quench my pack opening needs...for the moment... for I, like ZeGinger am a dirty pack cracker as well lol.
Possibly if I hold onto it sealed for awhile the value may increase, if not... well I guess it will be a sweet draft night. I am sure one day modern will be a viable format for me but that's more than likely a few years away yet.
:) thanks to all for the input!

You will get more value by selling it sealed.
You will get more fun out of drafting it with your friends.
Open it, start a modern collection, sell/trade the cards you don't need for cards you want, take a shot at pulling a Tarmogoyf
or Dark Confidant
and enjoy your spoils!
Do none of the above and give it to me. =D
