This pick is VERY interesting. Incubator Drone is a little better than Culling Drone, but Culling Drone ingests (should it manage to hit). "Black Devoid" is open... but none of the cards are actually good, just playable.

The card that interests me here is Skyrider Elf. I think this is a very strong signal, card is quite powerful. Going 4+/- colors is a real thing, and gives us a better direction than process/ingest (which we can also support if we get an infiltrator).

I mean, we're getting White signals and are not taking them, why the Elf now? Culling for me.

Cub and Sentinel are not signals.

Sentinal has been good from my experience.

It's fine. It's not a signal.

Turn against is very good.

Turn Against! *THAT* is probably a signal. The only red deck I can see passing that for a non-rare is where it's in the pack with a Valukut Predator and they are zeroed in on landfall (but there is also a Snapping Gnarlid in the pack???)

We clearly prioritize fixing at this point, and probably look for decent green filler.

I would take retreat to valakut and a few other creatures over Turn Against.

Still the pick in this pack.

This card: Retreat to Valakut? Weird. I mean, I think it's OK in RG landfall, but ...

Oh no, card is insane-o. Making it so they lose a blocker every turn is really solid in this format, even with Scions being common. And group it with the Emrakul drone and/or Vile Aggregate? Ooooo buddy.

Predator? This draft looks rather messy so far.

LIFESPRING DRUID

Converge is what's open - and overpriced elf of paradise is the key card. Predator is fine, but did I miss a bunch of snapping gnarlids?

I think Lifespring Druid is the safest pick here considering we're not sure yet where we're going.
