Chord of calling seems right.

I think it's Raise the Alarm; Sanctified Charge is the only other white card in the pack so we're in a position to cut it.

The pack has strong green cards, hopefully everybody on the left starts fighting over that.

In any keeper draft, chord is the pick. I kind of think gravedigger is the best card in the pack, but I have never played with chord.

The problem with forcing white is that it's the best/most popular color so we might just end up screwing 2 people (including ourselves).

Especially when the other white card is still good, I'd not be bold enough to think I could cut it.

The thing about Chord is that it's a second copy of the best creature in your deck, except this copy has convoke and flash (and is technically more raw mana, but convoke). It's a better grab pack 2 or 3 when you've landed a serious bomb, but I think it's still better than gravedigger (often a mediocre pick, though still solid mid-pack) here.

Gargoyle Sentinel

This is really impressive in RU artifacts. I played against Chord, and it was not impressive.

Mongrel. There's a good chance that Sentinel wheels.

Gargoyle. Early defense, endgame finisher, with no color commitment involved.

Based on playing against it, chord isn't fantastic. It does break parity, but it doesn't automatically fetch you a bomb.

I'm going to go gargoyle here. I stops the early decks, blocks well on the ground and in the air, and provides evasion.

Kaboomist or Sliver?

I'm going to go with the cheaper option. Goblin Kaboomist.

Kaboomist then draft all the hammerhands.

I was about to switch my pick from Chord to Garg too.
I think early kaboomist is good. Another option is to take Rats and force BG; I think chord goes pretty well with that (you do need a bomb or two).

Boom-Boom shake the room! I guess a worst case scenario 3 mana Shock seems right. I think second best pick is Welkin Tern narrowly over the Constricting Sliver. P1P1 with Chord of Calling is right as it's worth a small amount of money I guess. Not sure I like playing it though.
