Bounty - I know that I am not going to win many picks on here but bounty is much much better than the Kathari

Pestilent Kathari. We're in black and red, and leaving the mana open makes him a great blocker or huge pain to block.


Exactly.

Makes it hard to play all those four-mana land searchers we loaded up on. Ah well, you can't have everything.

Gleam is a really good card, but we aren't white.

Toxic Iguanar always finds his man, seeing as we are green. But he is horrid if you don't find the green guys.

Pestilent Kathari is... okay... Flying and Deathtouch, and you can sink mana.

I think the pick is Kathari.

I actually want Bounty here. We could use more early fixing, and I still think we should go back to Jund.

Protection is a big thing when everybody is going five-color. I wouldn't pick it over a decent Jund card, but there isn't one in the pack.

This is my argument for the Nacatl. My vote is nacatl or the archer. We don't have much flying, but archer can't deal with the real flying threats.

I'm happy with the Outlander here (but unhappy with the draft in general)

Taur.

I think we have enough removal to ignore the conditional burn which is the only other reasonable option.

Seriously?

Ignite Disorder is a great card for the SB. We aren't playing Minotaur.

Aha. A 3/3 for four was good back in the times. Just how many removal spells would you play? I see you say sideboard for Disorder, and that's fine, but how many critters do we have that are better than Taur? We should fill the deck before picking sideboard options.
:two:

Ignite Disorder. In a multicolour white and blue creatures = lots of targets.
