Necrogenesis. Much better option for us, so far.

Looks like we might end up .
Screecher's decent all around. Necrogenisis goes good with tons of removal or tons of creatures (preferably with devour and without unearth), and it undercuts the opponent's unearth critters.
Both are good. I think Necrogenesis has more potential, but the Screecher's the sure bet.

I'll live dangerously and take Necrogenesis. I'm an expert at rising from the grave, so trust me on this one.

Why are we taking a blue card?

We have a green dude that's playable, and being 4 colors is the absolute worst.

Pack 1:

Resounding Thunder
Jund Charm
Sprouting Thrinax
Obelisk of Grixis
Blightning
Kathari Screecher

Next...

Goblin Assault
Bone Splinters
Coma Veil
Blister Beetle
Dispeller's Capsule
Soul's Might
Godtoucher
Excommunicate

Goblin Assault seems incredibly strong. I remember playing it in jank standard brews. I also remember Blister Beetle being playable. Bone Splinters is an option, but not ideal.

excommunicate is also playable, but we aren't white.


Pick is Goblin Assault.

Assault, sure.

Assault

I like how assaulting goblins are not smart enough to wait for a critical mass to attack.

Assault, although I like Bone Splitter.

Assault.

Sorry but bone splinters is clearly the pick here. In a format dominated by big creatures. Making a 1/1 a turn is just not that good. This is not a fast format and basically this card just gets eaten by a blocker or pinged. People may see bone splinters as a two-for-one against but it is (a) killing anything and (b) with unearth you can often get an advantage to killing your own creature (or remove annoying enchantments etc).

Resounding Thunder
Jund Charm

Kathari Screecher
Goblin Assault

Next...

Vectis Silencers
Relic of Progenitus
Cavern Thoctar
Bloodpyre Elemental
Dispeller's Capsule
Goblin Deathraiders
Elvish Visionary

Death raiders or elftrip?

Bloodpyre Elemental

Not sure about the curve, though. Visionary might be a safer choice.

Visionary if we're going with the green route.

Visionary for me. The early plays tend to be cantrips and/or roadblocks until the mana is fixed. Once you get to 5 mana you want something much more exciting than the Elemental.

Raiders is not a good card and only saw very limited play in Jund beatdown (which we aren't drafting).

Elemental is a kill spell. Don't see why we are arguing about this.

I dunno beating down in a format where everyone spends 3 turns fixing their mana seems like a good plan to me... but I am fine with Visionary.

I'm not a fan of going Green right now without a very good reason, and I don't think the Elf is enough of a reason. Elemental is a removal spell, so it's a solid pick.
