Sarukar Marauder is really good. Might be worth hate-picking it if you don't think we plan to play that second spider.

Yes, that's the sane pick, but it's somehow meh.

Quest for the holy Relic

It can fetch our removal :)

Relic and hope we pick up a bomb enchant, or Vestige for the pick that we may not play anyway.

Actually, Vestige may be more useful as a flier than we think, because of the equips we have.

Vestige is a seriously terrible card. Like, 14th pick, never going to make md kind of card. The bard is weak, but still way better.

bard I guess. 1/4 is something. quest seems like a long shot and vestige seems useless.

Jorga Bard. Allies are always fine creatures to run, and the more the better.

When you guys are looking at picks, you should ask yourself "Would I run this in an aggressive Theros draft deck?" If that answer is "maybe" or "probably not," then you probably don't want that card in your deck.

I wouldn't run the Bard in an aggro draft deck. Not just Theros.

Bard is horrible. A 4-mana 1/4? That might give our 1/1 vigilance? At least Vestige could be a 23rd and has evasion.

No, no it could not. When's the last time you played a 1/2 flyer for 3 without a relevant ability? Remember that vestige can only prevent damage done to players.

It turns our 2/2 into a 3/3. Read the Allies bro.

Point I'm trying to make, Vestige is poo. At least the bard can block and give Vigilance. Which is really relevant.

It's an evasive body in a set with equipment, some of which we have. We can prioritize it and make our low-curve augmented by equipment. I don't care about the ability; this is limited, you need bodies, and bodies with evasion are more playable than behind-curve horned turtles.

We have 1 equipment that pumps the power. Again, when's the last time you played a 1 powered flyer with no relevant ability?

Anyway, for the current pick, the farguide is ok sideboard vs other green decks.

I played a crapton of concordia pegasus in RtR. Anyway, I'm not going to squabble over a card that I already said is a 23rd at best.

Yeah... as a blocker. 3 toughness and 1 less cmc is a pretty significant difference.

It's not a 23rd card. You play a land over it (especially in zendikar, where lands trigger landfall, so they're better than a 1/2 flyer for 3 by miles).
