Keeper of Beasts is pretty incredible, and ASsault Griffin is a generic flier. Either would be fine.

My pick is Keeper of the Beasts.

Wow, heavy blue pack.

I'd pick Keeper of the Beasts. Sure is nice to provide a cheap extra bear any turn we're behind.

Assault Griffin

Keeper looks fine until you see GG in the casting cost.

I'm really curious about how keeper would play out, but I think in the end, he'd be less impressive than he looks. I'll go for the griffin myself.

Banding on an evasion creature seems good.

Banding effectively nullifies flying I think, since you can block one creature, you can block both.

It really is a horrible ability.

Oh, wait. That way? Guess I was thinking about blocking. Then, I'll change my vote to Assault Griffin

Bludgeon Brawl is a hilarious card... but obviously unplayable in a chaos draft.

Assault Griffon was pretty good even in gatecrash, it should be a world beater here

I'll switch my vote to the Griffon. I guess 3-power evasion is pretty good for 4.

I think we've seen more artifact tribal than artifacts

Spitting earth is a great removal, but not in a 3 colored deck.

Observant alseid seems like a pretty solid card here. I also like pilgrim's eye to help our splash. They're pretty close, but I think I'll go for pilgrim's eye.

Hard pick between the Alseid and the Pilgrim's Eye. The Eye helps fixes us, while still providing a body. That ability cannot be understated. But the Alseid's power through Bestow is very real. I think I'll have to go with the Pilgrim's Eye though, because it'll be better to hit 4cmc with the right mana mix than have a good 5cmc play.

Yeah, I think it has to be pilgrim's eye here, though I imagine in durdley environments like this one Alseid's bestow is that much better.

pilgrim's eye. Alseid is my least favorite bestow, although likely it's the best (only) bestow in the whole draft pod.
Llanowar Augur doesn't look terrible on the wheel.
