Title: First Pick
Post by: TBNL on March 21, 2012, 02:10:48 PM
Okay, something new here, I'm going to open a pack (Innistrad in this case), and tell you everything inside. You tell me what your Pack 1, Pick 1 in a draft would be if this was your pack.
First Pack: {Grave Bramble}
{Bloodcrazed Neonate}
{Frightful Delusion}
{Cobbled Wings}
{Traveler's Amulet}
{Darkthicket Wolf}
{Ambush Viper}
{Pitchburn Devils}
{Caravan Vigil}
{Ghost Quarter}
{Mask of Avacyn}
{Rally the Peasants}
{Witchbane Orb}
{Tormented Pariah}

Hmmmm.... Not a very sexy pack.   I dunno, {Ghost Quarter}?  Maybe {Mask of Avacyn}?  I suck at drafts, btw.   :-\

I'd take the orb at the dka draft I went to I heard so many ppl complaining about getting pwnd by curses.

Not exactly a nice pack there but I would probably go for {ambush viper} or {mask of avacyn}
Title: Re: First Pick

Yeah, not a great pack to start the thread on, but you open what you open

{ambush viper}

This would also probably be my first pick, but then again my 3 {Cobbled Wings} pretty much won me my draft last weekend. That's pretty cheap for flying and not many people can deal with a whole lot of flying at drafts.
Title: Re: First Pick
Post by: ChrisRodriguez on March 22, 2012, 01:10:01 AM
{cobbled wings} or {Tormented pariah}. Flying or big creatures are hard to deal with in drafts.

But it doesn't have trample so I'd chump block it with spirits all day... Meanwhile {Unruly Mob} is getting ready to smack your face. lol xD

This is draft and you can't assume you can get said cards. I'm picking from this pack, and would have hoped for better cards. So I would pick what I know can be helpful.
Title: Re: First Pick
Post by: NillaWafers on March 22, 2012, 01:30:29 AM
I realize this. That is why I agree with you pick of {Covbled Wings} because everything is better with some form of evasion. Also this doesn't choose your colors quite yet either.

Spirit, I think.
I actually opened 2 other packs before this one. One had a {Bloodgift Demon} and Foil {Mausoleum Guard} and the other had {Champion of the Parish} and a 1/1 Deathtouch Wolf token. Then of course when I decide I'm doing this, I open the πŸ’© pack

Hmm, well this isn't good.

It's a toss up between {Ambush Viper} and {Pitchburn Devils}. I'd snag the devils as they have a decent body and you can two-for-one them.

Title: Re: First Pick
Post by: Mlerner12 on August 04, 2013, 06:05:12 PM
I just really like red/blue burn/control, and Shock is great for that. That being said, maybe the spellblast. Control is great on sealed.

Agreed. Hexproof is AMAZING in limited, and with blue being one of the better, if not the best colour in M14, the second ability isn't irrelevant.
