I just did. I basically did what we're doing, with the wolves. I won, but it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't on the back of wolves (it was lurking automaton an Gnarlid Pack when everyone else had spent their fury). Of course, the only Hidden Agenda I had was haste to them, if we pick up counters to agenda, it's better off. Which is really unfortunate, 'cause it's in this pack with a wolf.

Too few enchantments in set for decimate to find targets. We want Charging Rhino to have bigs, or librarian since this is pack 1 and picking up a librarian here would give us a ton of chances to use it.

Librarian right now is a good idea. Nothing good in this pack.

Seems like a great time for Cogwork Librarian. And actually as a 3/3 for 4 colorless it's not a bad dude if don't find a good place for it.

Exactly like it would in a real draft. I have a way figured out on how to use each of them for this if they are drafted

There are a number of good options here. Galvanic Juggernaut is hot, Tyrant's Choice and Gnarlid pack are both bery good, and the spy would let us see what color the person to our left is in.

Overall, I'd take the Galvanic Juggernaut, but it's narrow over the pack.

Crookclaw Transmuter

I love :u::g:. Three-power flash flying for four seems good. I'm not sure whether there are any targets for its ability in the set, but if they are, you can play at politics with it.

Hmmm... this is pretty tough, not really knowing this set. Juggernaut seems pretty good with 4 players, but might make the game last a LOOOONG time if people become unwilling to fight / remove things. I think transmuter.

Even at 8 mana pack is only a 5/5. It's also got versatility, but I'm not sure if that's enough.
Spy could be useful to us for planning our future picks.

Still, I choose Transmuter.

Blue/green is an incredibly strong combo.
Gnarlid Pack is surprisingly powerful in this, often being a 4/4 or larger.
Galvanized Juggernaut is a strong cookie if you want to be aggressive.

I did 3 drafts last night, played green blue, red black, and green black. won all 3. Big dudes win games. Crookclaw is nice but I like Pack better.

Gnarlid Pack

Edit: also, got Explore pick 1 and 2 in the first draft, a Stile pack 2 pick 1 in the second draft, and a Greatest Theif in the Multiverse in pack 3 pick 1 of the last draft. Played 0 of those cards.

Since Jugger seems like a nader vote right now, I'll switch to pack. I was happy with it in my own draft (got one as a 6/6 after being flooded and clinging desperately to howling wolves most of the game), and yeah, big dudes win games -- aggro does NOT. if you're the aggro, you draw hate and have a harsh task (getting through 60, rather than 20 life) ahead of you.

I draft R/W defenders mostly, and thought that green/blue looked very weak. Vent Sentinel is OP, but it's not what we want.
I choose infiltrator.
