No Goblins Allowed :: DDF redraft 2 (wrapping up)

Inspiring Call
What? Well, Bolt is boring, and UG bolster was underdrafted at the time (that was a week ago). I played against the Breezedancer today, with a RB removal-heavy deck, and it did not impress me. So, let's see what you pick.

Yeah I think there is a gw bolster deck. Not sure I would force it though.

Ultimate Price
See? This is why you don't first-pick solid removal over a solid critter. Cause your second pick is quite likely to be a great removal spell; but not a great critter.

Sure, not Call, Dancer.

Kolaghan's Command
It's in our colors, and quite probably the strongest card left in the pack. Also, quite a signal that RB might be open.

That's what I thought you meant at first, then I checked the first spoiler (but then didn't double check the second). Still, if you go Dancer->Price now you are in 3 colors.

I'll post these picks as long as it's reasonably realistic that the cards I was passed online are more or less what we would be passed after we made the picks we will make here. Pack 1 pick 1 Kolaghan Aspirant Lightwalker Dutiful Attendant Volcanic Rush Gurmag Drowner Colossodon Yearling Spidersilk Net Twin Bolt Taigam's Strike Silumgar Butcher Cunning Breezedancer Inspiring Call Silumgar Monument Profound Journey Mountain my pick Inspiring Call What?

Twin Bolt is tempting, but I don't believe I pass up the Breezedancer.

Post subject:	Re: DDF redraft 2
That is a wretched pack. I take twin bolt here UNLESS I have meta information that UW is underdrafted. Even then, I would expect breeze dancer to wheel if it's open. Drowner isn't good enough to P1... part of me wants to say screw it and build Taigam's Strike.dec. But Twin Bolt is fine, if a little disappointing.

Bolt. It is just fine.

Bolt. Breezedancer is not good enough to make me commit to 2 colors this early. There is a UG Bolster deck?

Yeah well, this was a bit of a brainstorm on my part. Sorry for the wait, but my home machine is in a shambles right now (installing my first Linux, and ...). Nothing lost, but it will take a few days to get it back online, what with the job and all.

Bolt, then. Sorry, Dancer. Picks so far: Twin Bolt Pack 1 pick 2 Gravepurge Anticipate Sandstorm Charger Kolaghan Skirmisher Contradict Glade Watcher Ancestral Statue Duress Misthoof Kirin Ojutai's Breath Ukud Cobra Ojutai Monument Ultimate Price Mountain my pick Ultimate Price See?

Latter in the draft I could see taking Cobra over Price, but this early, Price is the pick.

Gogo 10removal.dec. Ultimate Price.

Author:	Zenbitz [ Wed Apr 22, 2015 5:42 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: DDF redraft 2
The Price is Right! I don't see how Ulitimate Price pairs well with Inspiring Call, so how are you ahead by eschewing twin bolt? In fact, I would pick Bolt TWICE knowing that the next pack had Ultimate Price.

Ukud cobra is a premium uncommon, but price is even better, take it.

Still, if you go Dancer->Price now you are in 3 colors. It was more of a general comment. IMO, you don't need to prioritize removal in this set quite as highly as in some other recent ones.

Kolaghan's Command in a heartbeat.
