Hi all
This is my first post on this forum. I used to be a fairly prolific poster on the MTG forum but after a 6 month break (due to wife giving birth to son and frowning on playing Magic in spare time) I discovered that the MTG limited forum was dead and heard that here was the place to come (which has been proven by CG's wonderful fantasy drafts being back up and running).
For what it's worth, I'm a fairly good limited player but have been out of practice for a while. Still, I have got back into limited in the last month and currently post a 25-11 score out of my 12 MTGO drafts so far (I always draft Swiss).
Clearly here (to state the obvious) we are going to be
something (about to discover whether the same shortcuts apply). We have one good red card and an equally good blue card with the white card being, in my opinion, slightly worse.
Although I am likely to be outvoted here I would take the
necrobite. There is really nothing exciting about the snake and will normally be a 4/4 for 5 and you gain some life (4 to be exact). Our deck is looking like an aggressive deck and I don't think a 4/4 for 5 really cuts it in this style of deck.
Necrobite is a good combat trick and enables heroic. It may prove to be a dead pick if we don't go black but I would rather have it and not use it than get stuck with a snake later on.
If we go very aggro we may only want one or at most 2 5-drops and the snake is just not good enough (Raised by Wolves on the otherhand...).

More seriously, Fall of the Hammer is easily splashed for and Impetious Sunchaser is not a reason to go red.
