woo hoo brag post! Turns out aggro still works in BTT:

2 x Akroan Crusader
1 x impetuous sunchaser
1 x arena athlete
2 x leonin snarecaster
2 x cavalry pegasus
1 x deathbellow raider
1 x akroan skyguard
1 x phalanx leader
1 x elite skirmisher
1 x anax and cymede
1 x anvilwrought raptor
1 x setassan griffin

2 x dragon mantle
1 x gods willing
2 x battlewise valor
2 x fall of the hammer
1 x ordeal of purphoros
1 x ray of dissolution

8 x mountain
8 x plains


Weirdest part of this deck was that I wasn't even in white until P1P5 akroan skyguard.
Obviously ray, griffin and raptor were the last includes... but I was scraping the bottom of the barrel. I did actually play the first game with gift of immortality but cut it for the "finisher". My only other RW cards were silent artisan, another setassan griffin, a griffin dreamfinder, pinnacle of rage and scouring sands.

Definitly had some... interesting keeps. First match I had 2x 4 land openers which made me frown but I kept. Only game I lost in 3 matches was one of them (M1G1 where i kind of misplayed miscounted his monstrous asp mana... but it's not like I can beat an Asp anyway without a snarecaster. I also kept (twice) a hand like: mountain, crusader, dragon mantle, ordeal, 2-3 two drops... and beat anger of the gods TWICE with it. Once with gods willing on crusader+ordeal and once when we traded turn 4 plays and I played griffin into an empty board and rode it.


Even wierder was the 5 land phalanx leader + anax & cymede keep. Won that one, too. I thought the 1 landers were keepable but close (both times drew a plains)... the 5 lander seems like basically the only possible 5 land keep in this deck (2 bestest & hardest to cast cards), and I won easily despite getting trading my phalanx leader for a swordwise centaur

Because I'm lazy, I'm not gonna read the whole thread and respond to the OP:

BNG draft plays different than 3x THS. White is still incredibly good, but you are correct people fight over it. Red is the same way. The aggro heroic decks are incredibly strong, but since it is so obviously so people will try to force it, which makes for too many people getting sub par decks.
Black is a color where you have to be willing to take a risk in the very weak BNG pack to hopefully get sweet stuff in the next 2 packs. You take the decent black cards, grab a Marshmist Titan or two (which are rather playable if you are heavy black) and then let the Merchants flow (hopefully)

Green got a little worse compared to THS, but it is still good. You want to take Swordwise Centaurs, and grab any color correct Ordeals to stick on them in THS. Its a pretty backbreaking combo. Other than that, the green decks are pretty much the same.
