I cannot, in good conscious, pass a squirrel nest. Arbiter and Smuggler are probably both better however. Arbiter seems kind of non-bo-y with howling wolf. We should probably keep an eye out for some artifact hate.

Is there an RU player at the table I wonder? I guess in multiplayer you can splash for 2 drops since tempo is irrelvant.

Probably. I've seen someone try Vent Sentinel.dec pretty much every time I've drafted conspiracy, and usually that adds in blue and/or white as support.

Backup plan seems awesome. So does banshee, and apex hawks. Of them, I'll take the Hawks. Flying is king.

Yes, I know there is a wolf in this pack, but you know what? I am sick of these freeking wolves. they're not going to win us the game with anything resembling reliability, and it's too late to really pick up the 2+ Muzzio's preps you need to make them credible threats.

This is why we should've picked the fireshrieker or that card that lets us put stuff from our gy into our library so we have infinite chump blockers, but whatevs. Now we just prioritize echoing courages.

Echoing Courage.

Backup Plan. I'm expecting either the wolf of the courage to wheel.

I think backup plan, just because with world knit we need all the thinning and such we can get.

Courage. Wolf will probably wheel. I mean, we've kind of reduced the value they hold for the rest of the table to zilch.

I love Jetting Glasskites. Nice and powerful, removal resistant, and have evasion.

Glasskite. Grinder is badass with worldknit, but this one is too late

GOOD GOD DRAFT COGWORK GRINDER AND EXILE EVERYTHING WE DRAFT SO WE'RE NOT PLAYING EVERY SINGLE G-D CARD IN OUR WORLDKNIT DECK

for serious tho :V

I have carefully considered the matter, and have tentatively come to the conclusion that cogwork grinder is the optimal pick here.

We already have the vast majority of the late and poor picks we're going to get. We would exile, at most, five or six cards rather than playing them, and with the overall high playability of Conspiracy that would be pushing it. Had the grinder come in pack two, where we could remove perhaps a dozen cards from the draft and have not only a lean, nearly standard-sized deck but also a face-beating robot, I would agree heartily.

So you'd rather have a fat deck that rocks some chaffe than a non-fat deck with a bomb? I've exiled 10 cards from a pack after picking grinder Grinder. Overall playability is pointless with an inconsistent deck, bloated deck.

Grinder for me. There aren't a lot of cards in the pool the we still want. We get it and just remove everything left that's not named Muzzio's Preparations.
