Tougher than I thought. I thought we were more red, but floodtide serpent. I think dragon mantle is the better card. I don't like passing cyclops either.

Awkward.

I think our red is better than our blue with Conscriptors and Fall. And mantle is cheaper.

Dragon Mantle

Mantle's pump remains even when it's removed by a serpent attack, right? So that's a thing.

As long as you pay to pump it before you declare attacks.

Which you would normally NOT do, as it leaks information. Or I guess you could declare attacks, pick up the dragon mantle (Serpent trigger) and respond to it pumping the mantle. That's still before declare blockers or damage which is the relevant bit.

Even without pumping, it becomes essentially :r:: Draw a card with the serpent. Dragon Mantle

I think we're more likely to play our Blue and splash our Red than the opposite.

Fate Foretold.

Wow, eh. I really want the bad/good card.

But...

Akroan Crusader I guess. The shaman is a weird signal, tho, right?

If we go white, we want crusader. If we don't we want..... um......... iunno, I would just take the rageblood and hope for MOAR TARS. I have Homelands-derived acid flashbacks though, so feel free to ignore me.

I'm not sold on going white, and I don't think we'd want to target a 1 drop too often, so Rageblood it is.

Rageblood Shaman

He's not bad by himself, and it looks like red wins over blue. Good thing we took the Mantle.

If we are not wheeling the crusader, we are not going RW heroic. And we are not playing heroic unless we play white (phalanx). And there is no white in this pack.

Rageblood Shaman

Best card is asp, but that's just not happening.

Crusader, I think. We really should try to play our White cards.

We really haven't taken much support for heroic... At this point we're not really drafting any particular strategy... I'm thinking Shaman. It works well with our oracle and we could get some more taurs... At least shaman is decent on his own.
