There are five different panoramas. The grixis one is best but two others also get two of our three colors. They're all common so we'll probably get two by the end of the draft anyways, unless people grab them early in which case we'll hopefully have the stronger deck.

stronger doesn't mean better if you can't cast your spells. mana fixing is important in this format.

And don't forget the obilisks and the uncommon tricolor lands as well.

I feel better about picking the agony warp over panarama now, obelisk.

Just when we were talking about taking fixing for now on, Obelisk.

I remember Kathari being a lot better than it looks. I wouldn't be sad about the capsule, but I'm saying Kathari.

Soul's Fire

It's removal. And another way to use the Dragger or any other Unearth creatures we may yet pick up.

Soul's Fire is bad and conditional removal though. I'll go with the Skeletal Kathari.

Soul's Fire is really bad. In fact, when I looked at the pack, Capsule felt like such an obvious pick. Why you guys want an overcosted flier over it?

I want Courier's Capsule, Soul's Fire is too easy to disrupt and it does nothing on its own.

Skeletal Kathari is a Nimbus of the Isles that can dodge removal and power through enemy fliers. That seems pretty good to me.

It seens pretty meh to me unless you're in Jund, which we aren't right now. I dunno, maybe I love drawing cards too much.
