It's been a long, long time since I've had a pool this good. I ended up building a green/black deck and going 4-0, but I was highly tempted by other elements of my pool as well. Here's what it was.

~The Deck~

Creatures (14)
1 Hateful Eidolon
1 Lampad of Death's Vigil
2 Temple Thief
1 Underworld Charger
1 Venomous Hierophant
1 Gravebreaker Lamia
1 Destiny Spinner
1 Nessian Wanderer
1 Nyx Herald
1 Arasta of the Endless Web
1 Voracious Typhon
1 Nylea's Forerunner
1 Polukranos, Unchained

Spells (9)
1 Cling to Dust
1 Mogis's Favor
1 Tymaret Calls the Dead (Promo)
1 Aspect of Lamprey
1 Eat to Extinction
2 Final Death
1 Mystic Repeal
1 Return to Nature

Lands (17)
8 Forest
9 Swamp

My observations of this were pretty much as follows: My bombs were Gravebreaker, Polukranos (Pokey, as I started to call him), and Charger and I could reliably find at least one of those to end the game. Pokey himself is the best, but the lifegain from Lamprey and Lamia couldn't be ignored and turned around a few games in which I was very much playing the control side. I also had a LOT of good removal to take out just about anything that actually threatened me. Most annoying card I kept playing against had to be Dreadful Apathy since it could exile Pokey or the bad horse.

The white, in particular, was very tempting to run over green with heavy removal and a bomb of its own to replace Pokey. Again, monstrously lucky pool, probably the second best I've had in my entire M:tG playing career.

That's nice. I've done three sealeds and have yet to open any legendary creatures. Real bummer as I was super fascinated by that enchantment-that-becomes-a-creature design space. For some reason I keep being drawn to white in my sealed pools - perhaps it was because one of the first theros streams I watched the guy was playing UW. Also tried RB sacrifice....didn't go so well.
