I'm not sure about drafting a three-color format, but Tidehollow Strix looks like the best card in the pack to me.

Resounding Thunder

This kills a lot of monsters, and if you ever get to cycle it, it becomes prime removal.

I like Wind Drakes, so Screecher for me. Not opposed to removal, though.

I guess the dragon is simply uncastable in this format with ...

Nice pack. Thunder since I think last time we went esper.

Scavenging Drake. Guy is good.

Scav Drake.

Resounding Thunder

This is quite a slow format and 5 colour control is incredibly powerful. This is a prime removal spell which, if you get to be 5 colours is awesome. Strix would be my second choice.

CG - great choice of draft though,

Jund Charm

A lot of good cards in here. Sculptor and Fiend for the artifact deck, Paladin and Squire for the Exalted deck. Repeatable removal in the battlemage. Still, Jund rules.

Jund Charm is probably the most powerful card here... the building blocks of other decks frightens me, however.

Post subject:  Re: Alara block draft!

Starting by picking multicolored cards is a really bold strategy.

And by bold, I mean unwise.

This format isn't that slow.

My pick for this pack is Sigiled Paladin, wishing that we had taken the drake.

Remember, we're drafting alara reborn 3rd pack. We are almost 100% going to be in 3 to 4 colors. I think Jund Charm is entirely playable here.

Charm... hoping the rest of the pod fights over the rest.

All aboard the Jund train!

I like the Paladin myself.

Post subject:  Re: Alara block draft!

Advocating Lush Growth with the caveat that I have 0 idea how this format works.

Author:  Goblin [ Mon Apr 07, 2014 3:51 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Alara block draft!

I seem to recall Esper being quite good, so I'll go with Glaze Fiend over sculptor, although it's pretty close between those two.

Author:  Zlehtnoba [ Mon Apr 07, 2014 3:56 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Alara block draft!

The problem with Paladin is the WW. In this format, it's hard to make a good deck going for only two colors. Oh, and did I tell you that Jund rocks?
