Surrak seems pretty good. it does commit us right off the bat, but the next best card is Brigade which does the same thing. unless we think Lightning is better than both. certainly keeps up more open, but we're passing strong cards in two of the three red wedges to grab it.

I'm gonna say Surrak.

Surrak. It doesn't even commit us to Temur bc the fixing in this format is insane. See my 4-color KTK Sealed Pool 2 with 7 dual lands and 2 banners.

I like Surrak bc he's great with deathtouchers. BG is already a great deck, but with Surrak you have additional outs to play.

Surrak. It's sad to pass Lightning, but Surrak is a pretty impressive bomb.

Surrak

There's a reason he's Mythic. The only problem is commitment, but that will be a common problem in KTK draft, so let's see how good the fixing really is.

Surrak just because I am curious on fixing. Arc lighting is the safer pick.

I think this pick is interesting because it's a sliding scale of power vs noncommitment. The first 3 cards are a 3 color bomb rare, a 1 color multi target removal spell, and a colorless single target removal spell. I'm voting for Surrak because I don't think the small guys in this format matter enough that you can regularly get much value from it.

Surrak
This set has a low density of multicolor cards, so it should be easy to stick to Temur unless we get passed something really good, but its no tragedy if we don't play him either.

Yup, Surrak Dragonclaw. Time to punch some bears.

Strong pack. I'd go with Surrak as well.

Surrak Dragonclaw is a beat stick, can't pass up on a finisher like that. BTW, Efreet Weaponsmith should be Efreet Weaponmaster.

Surrak Dragonclaw but only barely. I really like lightning. But I like handing this over to another player even less.

Am I the only one really tempted to take the bears and force some shoddy aggro deck?

Probably.

I think it's a strategy but I would take arc lightning in that case.

Surrak seems like the obvious choice.
