I took the mage, and I don't think it was WRONG but most people I asked disagreed
Ironically, I second picked Silumgar Sorcerer, followed by Silkwrap and then a few OK blue cards.
Extra-ironically, I got a pick 6 or 7 Stampeding Elkherd, decided that Blue wasn't open, and switched into G, undecided if GW or GU. P2P1 rewarded me with Anafenza so I went GW. Green was so open I passed a Hunt the Weak (to the guy on my left who was also green) over Blossoming Sands because Hunt wouldn't have made my deck. I also cut Tred Upon
I did OK, I lost G3 M1 to a 5 land hand that proceeded to draw 1 more spell and 7 more land and won a couple close matches.
