Going to my first draft for theros tomorrow night any suggestions haven't drafted in a long time.
Remember BREAD.
Bombs: anything that can win the game on its own. Ex {storm breath dragon}
Removal: things that remove things. Ex {hero's downfall}
Evasion: things with flying and such. Ex {vaporkin}
All the rest: stuff to fill out your curve. Not the best in your deck, but will make the cut for most decks. Ex {satyr rambler}
Dregs: stuff that you don't want, but play to fill your curve. Ex {flamecast wheel}
From what I've seen of theros limited,
{R}{W} is aggro.
{U}{G} is beaters and card draw.
{G}{W} is fast beaters.
{B}{R} is also aggro, slightly slower than {R}{W}.
{B}{W} is control, along with {B}{U}.
^^^ Really well said, I'll have to remember BREAD for when noobs and young ones ask me about drafting! In addition:
Don't underestimate Heroic.
Most of the Bestow is crappy but the one with Lifelink is a game changer and the 4/4 with flying and first strike can win too.
Use all of the kill/removal spells you can (okay, not all but like 4 if you can get them), usually the games come down to one bomb wrecking the field.
Double strike is boss, especially when bestowed upon.
Monstrosity is pretty nice, {Hundred-Handed One} is amazing.
Don't underestimate ANYTHING with Heroic, one minute it is one 1/1, the next they have 7 4/4s.
Anything that has enchantment hate is definitely nice.
At my LGS Top 3 (including me!) ran white (not mono white but {W}{B}{G}, {W}{R}{U} and {W}{R}).
Make sure you use lots creatures, Theros sealed is ALL about creatures. Most of the spell-centric decks aren't even close to playable in Theros sealed.
Have Fun!

I'm pretty sure you wrote that somewhere else and copy-pasted O.O
