Zodiac snake. We are probably black, and this will be a significant amount of damage to us.

It was a starter set targeted to Asian markets. It wasn't supposed to be good, just simple easy Magic to get people interested. If you look at set at the time, they're all terrible for drafting and in general most Magic sets are filled with garbage. There are very few good cards in Magic's history. Just less bad ones.

That's a slightly unfair blanket statement.

I like False Defeat, but every creature is so small in this format that I don't really see the point. Maybe Spoils of Victory?

This seems to be a simple format, bears facing bears, with some evasion thrown in. Our form of evasion seems to be Horsemanship, so we should take the card that, on the one hand, hurts us, and on the other hand, removes things that can block us.

Or, as Fel says, we could take fixing.

Spoils of Victory so we can play a splash card homies c'mon Farseek is better than Plummet.
