Both the red and black bears with drawback seems ok here?
Unless we want the Green Dragon as a finisher.

I don't think the bad bears are very good. If there's no decent instant-speed removal, and i don't think there is, the dragon is fine.

Yep, Dragon. Anyway, how can anybody pass a Dragon?

Are those self-hate bears? I think Dragon pump is pretty serviceable.

the pump is a sorcery. it's four damage once. Recruits is better.

Guys, our curve is 2-3-3-4-4-4-4. We're going to play the bears if we have them. We're not going to play Incredibly Worse Titanic Growth.

Halfway through pack one is not the time to worry about curve.

yeah, but it is a time to worry about a picking bad cards. dragon isn't a finisher, it's might of old krosa for more without the option to be good.

I'm not saying we're in the midst of a curve emergency but if we get twos now we can spend later picks on cards that are actually good. Wielding the Green Dragon is not a strong card.

Seems like we're just picking between bad cards.

for a long time in Magic's history, a 2/2 for 2, by itself, was not only a decent limited card but a good one. you can't evaluate creatures from over a decade ago by modern standards. they just weren't as good back then. a 2/2 for 2 with a largely irrelevant drawback will absolutely make the deck. sorcery-speed pump won't.

:duel:

Good thoughts to have mid pack three. We've seen more bad bears than slow combat tricks. It's pack one. Chill a bit. I've also been playing magic since unlimited so I get history.

I say we run Yellow Scarves Troops. Colorshifted into red, and makes us more likely to play our Eunuchs, which are removal right now.

Hate draft the Shu Elite Infantry?

Edit: I forgot we were in black. Deception.

do you understand what a combat trick is?

because it's not sorceries. it's never sorceries.

as for this pick, yeah, mind rot.
