Interesting... I'm not sold that we are locked into green yet. I only like that Archer in heavy green decks (and in those decks I would prefer the 3/2 at the same mana cost). I like the mana deer and Sonic is ok (especially to use in a tricky way).

I'm looking at Archtype of Imagination, Nyxborn Wolf, and Retraction Helix.

Archtype is best used in U/G where it has the benefits of possible ramp and big creatures to give evasion to. I don't play archtype in decks that are mostly blue. Nyxborn Wolf is just always good. Can trade up on defense, create good racing scenarios on offense and is a solid bestow creature. Retraction Helix is best in the deck I want to play U/W heroic and is useful in any blue deck.

I'll take Retraction Helix but concede that Nyxborn Wolf could be correct here.

I think archetype will wheel. However, since a significant portion of our power comes from hour and the heroic siren, I think it isn't worth the risk. Take the archetype now, pick up the wolf or the helix on the wheel.

Very powerful pack. I'm going with Helix. Archetype is not that good.

Does Helix ever wheel? I'm not seeing it.
Take the Helix now.

Helix won't necessarily wheel. But helix or wolf should be around next time we see this. Archetype wins games, and shuts down our advantage.

Fated Infatuation from an otherwise garbage pack

Bolt for me. I don't like Fated particularly and we are not wed to green as a second colour. Let's keep our options open.

I agree with not being locked into Green and with not liking Infatuation. But Bolt has a hard mana cost. Revoke?

Elite Skirmisher for my money. I don't really want UUU clone. It would be really hard to cast in a U/G deck that will want a lot of green rampers+fat. I also stay away from red if I can help it, and RR Bolt of Keranos isn't temping enough to take my eyes off of that 3/1 beatstick which positions us flexibly towards green OR white (the best color).

Revoke. It's splashable.

I like cloning 4/4 sphinxes... But skirmishes is good for hate and hedging 2nd color.

I recently drafted a Fated, and it won me every game where I drew it. I was UG, with an even land split, and :u::u::u: was never a problem in the late game. It's a rare, it has a good effect, and nobody plays around it. Even just adding three power instant speed for lethal next turn can take people completely by surprise.

Fated infatuation should be decently playable. Revoke is the only other card worth taking here. In fact, I'd rather take the revoke, and rely on infatuation to wheel with its triple blue cost.
