Selesnya is my first pick, if i cant have it ill go simic. Reason being is those two colors have the best midrange and late game creatures located at common and uncommon. In sealed you can NOT pick based on rares, they are too unreliable and often dont even see play. If you get good and relevant rares thats awesome, but dont make your pick based on what you are least likely to see.

I'll say, orzhov.  Next is Simic, Then Izzet

Quisequise

Kaleo what's your third pick? Left that one out haha

Birdbrain

I didn't pick based on rares. I picked because I wanted this guild this time around

Kaleo42

Sorry wasnt clear. Im playing 3 releases and unless I learn something different those are are my picks for all three. I will update as the night and tomorrow play out.

Quisequise

Ah alright, good luck to you and the team, if all of you are playing.

Cody is in Hawaii so idk about him. Everyone else is playing.

Gorzo

Do. Not. Pick. Simic.

See my post in Draft&Sealed if you have time to read a 4-page essay :P

I got a little sleep-deprived rambling thing going on there, I think I went on a little too much :P

Maybe your Simic players were just bad? I played Simic for Gatecrash and went 5-2. Then agains all of my Rares were playable and had a pretty good array of Commons and Uncommons.

I went 3-1 losing to my teammate Dennis in te last round. I picked selesnya and got paired with gruul. I had an amazing card pool.
{Tajic, Blade of the Legion} {Ral Zarek} (did not use) {Warleader's Helix}x2 {Skarrg Goliath} {Pyrewild Shaman} {Gleam of Battle} {Loxodon Smiter} {Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage} and many oter good cards perfect for naya aggro.

What do you want for the ral

InfinitiveDivinity

Nice! I want to pull bad {Lightning Helix}s! They seem rediculous in limited.

Kaleo42

Ill be playing ral in my standard deck

MuggyWuggy

Orzhov dominated my LGS prerelease
Boros for me was a good amount of cards, but nothing to seal the deal against the annoying extort, especially when they usually rakdos/boros cards within their arsenal

I didn't play against any simic, but they came in 2nd.

I had some really bad land droughts my first few rounds and then I cut my deck down immensely and when all the colors aligned, hot damn it was annoying, both offensive and defensively

I was not pleased with Molten Primordial as my rare in my guild pack however.

Crappy pool to build with for the 2nd and 3rd flight, the trades and pulls made up for it. The collection is looking pretty good now after intering it all in this app.
