Thought that we can squeeze through one more Theros draft before BNG.

Pack 1...

Bident of Thassa
Chronicler of Heroes
Favored Hoplite
Burnished Hart
Lightning Strike
Borderland Minotaur
Aqueous Form
Battlewise Valor
Chosen by Heliod
Leafcrown Dryad
Baleful Eidolon
Minotaur Skullcleaver
Pharika's Cure
Agent of Horizons
Last Breath
Insatiable Harpy FOIL

And unless I'm wrong, anyone can post a draft topic, correct?

Correct. I kinda want to take the shiny rare.

Shiny uncommon, and it's a good one.

Good pack. Bident, Harpy, or Lightning strike.

I think the only reason to not take the bolt is because we hate red and it suxors in Theros (perfectly legit reason). But it can be underdrafted so that make it good again.
Wouldn't have a problem with either of the other too... would pretty cool to wheel q-form or cure. We will certainly wheel a red playable.

You would never find this pack in the real world. Here are all the first pickables in order of appearance:

bident
strike
dryed
baleful
harpy

Out of all of those, bidet can do the most and the least; strike's removal can get outclassed; harpy is awesome but not in good pump-me colors.

Bestow wins games. Cheap bestow wins games.

Dryad. I don't think this is much of a discussion because it's entirely personal preference, but it just hoses everything, like, ever, while being cheap. The real pick is probably eidolon or harpy. (Hm. Probably Eidolon.)

But I'm going dryad.

Bident. I've had a ton of luck with this card and think it's worth taking.

I like Bident a lot.

I like Bident a lot but I've been forcing red white fast creatures lately to a lot of success so I'll go lightning strike.

I'm taking lightning strike because the only way I'll be ale to stand a draft of this is if I get literally all removal.

Lot's of options. My vote goes to Strike, but it's close.

Having thought about this, I wanna force mono-red.

Take the Lightning Strike.

My son and I were dorking around with the BNG sealed pack generator and we got a pool with _9_ WB removal spells.

I think horizon scholar is close enough to a bomb to take here. 2nd choice is probably the ordeal.

In the spirit of forcing red, I vote taking Spearpoint Oread.

Or, if you want to try and draft the 15-land deck, Priest of Iroas.

Oread.

We already passed a bident. Might as well throw blue away.

Baleful Eidolon. I like red/black and the eidolon is a powerful little pest.

Eidlon because

Me too. So, for this pick, Baleful Eidolon. There's also the Cure, but it's an double-black early play.

Eidolon, hoping that either the Cyclops or the Oread wheel.
