Avacyn is basically bananas. If the rare was, say, Stain the Mind I would take Flesh to Dust.

Too bad the rare is so good. My next pick would be the River Marshall, because I like WU.

first-pick triple white scares me, but I'm a fan of 5-mana 5/4 fliers with upsides.

Avacyn. Its so nice to draft her again. What do people think about taking Triplicate Spirits as the next in the pick order?

I think Flesh to Dust is the 2nd best card over spirits. But if I was already white (like after this P1P1) spirits is probably the pick.

I think we take Flesh to Dust here because it's good removal and because it kill our Avacyn.

I'd take Xathrid Slyblade here. It's a close call, but good creatures are cooler than removal. :teach:

Agreed on Xathrid Slyblade. It's single black, which helps if we plan to cast Little Miss .

slyblade because of the double black on f2d.

I guess even in magical christmas land generator servant doesn't get us Avacyn until turn 4, unless we have a battlefield forge as well. And that's like magical christmas, new years and the fourth of july all rolled into one land.

Flesh to Dust

This is one of the few premium removal spells in the set. As for double black, we will play some black creatures, I hope?

Flesh to Dust. Removal is king this set.

I really, really want to draft mono white if possible, but none of the white cards in this pack are good enough to justify passing another Flesh to Dust left. Even if we don't run it (and I'd rather not), I'd rather not face whoever DOES.

It's pretty much never possible to draft mono anything.
