I've decided the next fun draft would be Kamigawa block. I know it's considered one of the worst blocks as a whole of all time but it's also considered one of the funnest to draft.

Champions of Kamigawa
Betrayers of Kamigawa
Saviors of Kamigawa

Pack 1:

Miren, the Moaning Well
Burning-Eye Zubera
Ghost-Lit Warder
Razorjaw Oni
Gnat Miser
Kitsune Dawnblade
Kitsune Loreweaver
Ronin Cavekeeper
Matsu-Tribe Birdstalker
Moonwing Moth
Cowed by Wisdom
Inner Calm, Outer Strength
Rending Vines
Cut the Earthly Bond
Shinen of Fear's Chill

This format was before my time, but Cowed by Wisdom looks pretty good to me.

I don't know a ton about Kamigawa draft, I took a bit of a backseat during Mirrodin standard, and Ravnica was just more awesome to me.

I think my pick is Moonwing Moth, because I remember white being really good.

Glacial Ray isn't bad. Other cards of note are:
Mothrider Samurai - the fliers aren't too big in this format (that I remember) and this guy isn't a pushover.
Eye of Nowhere - its a Boomerang that you can splice Dampen Thoughts onto. Which, by the way, is a seriously powerful archtype in this format.

I think, for the heck of it, my pick is Eye of Nowhere.

Eye of nowhere is very sexy, lets take it.

I'd go eye as well. Edit: On second thought I'm leaning more towards Glacial Ray. We haven't seen any Dampen Thoughts yet and we could easily build around Glacial Ray in place of it instead.

Well you can always splice glacial ray onto eye as well, but it's probably going to get taken if we pass it.

Gah this is hard.

I meant building around Glacial Ray in place of Dampen Thought not the Eye. I agree though, whichever one we pass up would never not be picked.

You don't pass Glacial Ray. This is almost like Gary in Theros: you know you can't get the bananas splice deck, but you still pick it, just in case.

The "bananas splice deck" in Kamigawa is Dampen Thought

Egg Watcher or Dampen Thought, I can't decide. I kinda wanna try splice now. Egg Watcher is the safer choice for me, though.
