Booster Pack advice

I'm looking for some advice from the wiser players out there.

I have the following booster packs:
2 Shards of Alara
2 Alara Reborn
2 Corflux

2 Lorwyn
1 Morningtide

3 Urza's Saga

I'm cheap (and new to booster drafts).  So I had planned on waiting for some NixTix drafts to be set up for these sets so I can play learn to draft, etc.  However, when I look at the upcoming schedule, it doesn't look good for me.

(Actually, Urza's Saga probably isn't an issue.  The other sets are going to be released over the next six months or so, and then a while later they'll probably be added to the queue.)

So, should I wait until NixTix draft queues are set up for these sets, should I sell the boosters, or should I break them open and see what I find?

Well, as far as I know, there will never (ever) be an ACR draft again on MTGO.  They've been completely replaced by Alara Block booster draft.  Also, I don't think anyone will be buying them for much of anything...not sure if there is anything to do but crack them

LLM and SSE should be added to the nix tix schedule sometime after scars of mirrodin comes out. Not sure how soon after, but we didnt see TPF until zendikar was already out so it would stand to reason that the newest set to exit standard won't be on the nix tix schedule.

Your ACR boosters are worth about 1.5 tix each (if you can find somebody or a bot to buy them that is), so it might be best for you to crack them and keep your fingers crossed for a top rare or mythic. As for the others, I would hold onto them and keep an eye on the schedule.
