I would probably wait on making this because we don't have the rarities of the cards yet.

Astral Slide

Since we're not in this for the money :)

I have no idea what's good for Limited and what's not. Picking Slide gives me a direction to try and build the deck around. Teroh's Faithful might wheel, and that's a nice combo almost guaranteed to win a damage race.

There doesn't seem to be much sacrifice fodder in this set. I'll take the nightstalker.

I'd take the prophetic bolt. I love and this card is very strong in that type of deck.

CG - I think we are going to need someway to decide how to proceed with this draft. It is likely that people will all take very different first picks depending on colour and style preference and you may need to decide someway of determining a tiebreaker.

You should get eight people to pass lists on via PM and then all judge who drafted the best deck once it's done.

I second the Gush pick. Card is solid.

Gush

Isn't goblins an archetype here... lets go red and take torch.

Gush is really quite expensive in Vintage for draw two cards. If it comes down to a tiebreaker between Gush and Torch then I'll go for Torch.

what are you talking about... Gush is one of the most powerful cards in Magic...

But a large part of its power comes from being enabled by other cards.

Gush seems like it losses most of it's power outside of constructed. High level constructed plays out at low cmcs (or cheats in high cmcs) and we have to ask ourselves, "will we have spare lands to bounce in this deck? Can we afford to be put back 1-2 turns on our land drops?".
Prophetic Bolt seems very powerful, but is also multicoloured and I'm not too sure how big of a deal that is in this format.
Torch is removal.

I vote... Gush.

I have Gush in my cube, and it is fine in there.

The only thing I'd really consider from this pack is Sangrophage, so that I could force some sort of aggro deck. Because I like doing that.
