First Picks
Kamila and I simulated the first five picks in a draft with my cube. I'll post what packs I saw, and then tomorrow I'll add what my choices were and the rationale behind them. It's unlikely it was the best path, since there are so many possibilities - I hope to hear from you what you chose and why.

I think I could pick Royal Assassin / Call of the Herd / Defense of the Heart / Cathodion / Ob Nixilis. The last pack gets way too hard for BG.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I know I usually commit way too early. It takes a pretty big bomb for me to change colors at the fourth or so pack.
It would be fun to go Erratic Portal / Brittle Effigy / something / Cathodion / Vulshok Battlegear. It's actually possible.
But white is probably the strongest colors in those packs. If I first picked the Condemn (my second option), I would likely end up with five white cards.
PS: You have very open ended packs there. At least three strong options for every pick.
ReplyDeleteYou picked out the best cards in the 2-5 packs or just took cards out randomly? If it's the first option, I can only imagine that the imaginary people before you are picking red and blue.
I would pick Duress / Puncture Blast / Blightning / Firebolt / Ob Nixilis. I often commit way too early as well...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we picked out the best cards in the other packs. Well, I did, as we didn't want Henrique to know what the others had chosen.
Brion Stoutarm, Aurification, Galepowder Mage, Firemane Angel, Vulshok Battlegear.
ReplyDeleteAfter choosing the first one (one of the reasons being I felt like doing red/white), I disconsidered other colors for the following picks. Otherwise, Simic Sky Swallower would very likely be one of my choices.
Brion is good, but I just pick something two-colored if I'm already committed to those colors or if it's an amazing bomb (something like Spiritmonger).
