With the completion of the first Born of the Gods draft I'll start up the 3rd. This will be a normal Born of the Gods, Theros, Theros draft.

When the 2nd draft gets done I'll do a triple Born one.

Pack 1:

Arbiter of the Ideal
Ephara's Enlightenment
Thunderous Might
Fanatic of Xenagos
Nyxborn Shieldmate
Felhide Brawler
Swordwise Centaur
Hold at Bay
Necrobite
Retraction Helix
Cyclops of One-Eyed Pass
Floodtide Serpent
Stratus Walk
Satyr Wayfinder

Enlightenment is going to make me force heroic. I say we arbitrate.

Well OK, but it's boring. I would like to try the Fanatic, or the Serpent.

Well it will be a big test to see if Grev's buddies like U as much as your meta. This is a very stacked pack I think it quite likely we will wheel the serpent/walk/helix.

I like glimpse, since it basically does everything: triggers inspired, combat trick, triggers heroic, etc.

I think the possible picks are: Triton, Astronomer, and although I bypassed it Glimpse.
Astronomer is kinda a non-bo with arbiter.

Not sure triggering your inspired guy (how often are you going to have 2+ out and this in hand) once or tapping a bunch of your heroic guys is that great in BTT (although you can obviously blow someone out with Phalanx Leader and another couple heroes). As a combat trick.. it seems to be basically sorcery speed, right? Has to be used before declare blockers on offense or declare attackers on defense. In the latter case it's a (possibly partial fog). Tapping all your guys for an alpha seems like the best use of this.

Eh, I will stick with Nyxborn Triton

Glimpse the Sun God.

I stopped reading after I saw that. It's that good. EOT Tap their guys AND trigger all of your heroics and inspired creatures.. untap alpha. Its amazeballs. Oh and scry.

EDIT: If we pick anything here but Glimpse its so wrong I cant even tell you.

OH I GET IT NOW. I change my pick, not that it's necessary.

Glimpse has so many uses that I used it to slice bread once. It's also pretty splashable, for what is worth. Really easy pick.

i remember looking at glimpse when i was going over the setlist and being like 'omg best uncommon in the set'. I may be incorrect, but its still a damn good card.

Glimpse

Akroan Conscriptor

Instant-speed Threaten effects are so powerful they stopped printing them. There are also three good white cards in the pack, we could go with the General to keep up the Inspired theme.
