Steward of Valeron looks like the best card in the pack... but I will defer to people who have actually drafted shards - it seems different.

I think I prefer blightning over grixis rock. Jund rock I would take.

Obelisk

Falcon has a point about five-color. Obelisk fixes and accelerates. And we took the Thrinax, so we need it.

Blightning

Either Rock or the Viashino are good too. And just what are people to our right picking?

Sure, Blightning. Kinda sucks that we got a Jund Obelisk right after taking a Grixis one.

Of course, we could also just take the mana Elf and move into Naya, splash black. Unadvised.

Blightning. This pack is setting off my senses.

Blightning. The second obelisk isn't bad either. (I'm almost betting we end up 4 color minimum.)

Necrogenesis

Screecher puts us into fourth color. Necro was good, IIRC.

Hm, or do we drop the Thrinax and Charm and go Grixis? Again, IIRC, that shard was bad.

Kathari Screecher fine.

I take two days off and you guys are trying to wreck this draft. Grixis was the worst shard.

Not really sold on screecher... but I guess it's early enough to see what others are picking.
