Yeah, I wanted to jam recruiter in there before you even opened the 7th pack.

Thank you for all the comments. I ended up going a pretty unsatisfactory 5-4. My deck was not really getting better, and the others were. I was not able to astablish that I was the aggressor, and my defence was not really up to much, compared to some other decks.

The next pool was the another barely-playable pool. Funny enough, I ended up at 5-4 again, getting three wins in the first two weeks with UW, and two wins in the last week with RG. And here is the next one:



This looks to me like the strongest pool I've opened so far. Grixis is more or less a given for this week, with black being just overpowered. But the second color is a bit more open. I love blue and I want to play with Jace, so for me, it's no contest. How about you? Hint: I'm not playing Call.

After some experimentation, I can confirm that the pool was, indeed, quite strong. Broken comes to mind. But not Grixis. This is what I played in week three:



Fast on the board, attacking for three in the air on turn three virtually every game, three pieces of unconditional removal, card advantage engine in Bishop, race winner in Tenacity, a bomb rare in Plate. This deck, and its week two incarnation (no Tenacity) did not lose a match. Should have lost one, but the opponent let their Elusive Tormentor die in combat, which allowed me to come back from very far behind.

And this is what I did not play:



This blue pool has everything: tons of card advantage with Jace and Investigation, removal with two Sleep Paralysis, tempo tools with Mangler and Scrutiny. But it does not block well. I played it week one, had a lot of fun, went 2-1. Then Spike started whispering of white, I lost game one of match four with UB, sideboarded into BW, and that was that for blue.

I finished the league at 8-1. Cashed in my winnings for some boosters, opened another pool. Looks like a nice GW aggro curve, possibly splashing for Arlinn Korr. Not sure the splash is worth it, but I'm playing these for fun, right? Shut up, Spike!
