Igneous Pouncer looks appealing.

god damn it why'd we hit our borderpost and our cycler in the same pack. I don't remember which one was better, but I feel like it's the cycler, so Pouncer.

Can you play a Borderpost on the first turn by returning the basic land you tapped to pay the :1:?

I'm not sure what to pick, so I'll take the creature.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that.

Pouncer for me.

Pouncer, though it's really close.

Borderpost.

There are four or five playables in our colors in this pack. We should wheel something.

I guess it depends on how important the ultimatum is. I think it might be important, so I would pick Borderpost. We have a fair amount to do on turn 2 anyway.

I forgot we could ramp with borderpost. I was just thinking of it as the dual land form. I still think Pouncer is better but it's a lot closer than I was giving it credit for.
