I'll post these picks as long as it's reasonably realistic that the cards I was passed online are more or less what we would be passed after we made the picks we will make here.

Pack 1 pick 1
Kolaghan Aspirant
Lightwalker
Dutiful Attendant
Volcanic Rush
Gurmag Drowner
Colossodon Yearling
Spidersilk Net
Twin Bolt
Taigam's Strike
Silumgar Butcher
Cunning Breezedancer
Inspiring Call
Silumgar Monument
Profound Journey
Mountain

my pick

Twin Bolt is tempting, but I don't believe I pass up the Breezedancer.

That is a wretched pack.

I take twin bolt here UNLESS I have meta information that UW is underdrafted. Even then, I would expect breeze dancer to wheel if it's open.

Drowner isn't good enough to P1... part of me wants to say screw it and build Taigam's Strike.dec. But Twin Bolt is fine, if a little disappointing.

Bolt. Breezedancer is not good enough to make me commit to 2 colors this early.

There is a UG Bolster deck?

Yeah I think there is a gw bolster deck. Not sure I would force it though.

I would force it for a pack 1 Avatar of the Resolute, maybe for a pack 1 Enduring Scalelord, but not for Inspiring Call.

Yeah well, this was a bit of a brainstorm on my part.

Sorry for the wait, but my home machine is in a shambles right now (installing my first Linux, and ...). Nothing lost, but it will take a few days to get it back online, what with the job and all.

Latter in the draft I could see taking Cobra over Price, but this early, Price is the pick.

The Price is Right!

I don't see how Ulitimate Price pairs well with Inspiring Call, so how are you ahead by eschewing twin bolt? In fact, I would pick Bolt TWICE knowing that the next pack had Ultimate Price.

Ukud cobra is a premium uncommon, but price is even better, take it.

That's what I thought you meant at first, then I checked the first spoiler (but then didn't double check the second). Still, if you go Dancer->Price now you are in 3 colors.

It was more of a general comment. IMO, you don't need to prioritize removal in this set quite as highly as in some other recent ones.
