Still wishing we had gone walls :(

We aren't really going to be able to go red. We passed a Vent Sentinel (walls) and a heat ray (decent red card)

I think the pick here is between Cadaver Imp or Merfolk Skyscout. But Jaddi Lifestrider for some reason rings the "playable" bells in my head. Maybe it saw play in Standard? If it didn't, then it was a solid limited card.


Also important to point out: Blue/White levelers was one of the best decks in the format. Invokers are incredibly powerful.

Off topic: Started watching Eureka, Stan Lee just had a cameo. I'm tickled.

I mentioned it as one of my two picks. Card is good in aggressive decks, okay in other decks.

The decks that run eldrazi tend to be some combination of jund colors. Skyscout is blue, so it's a no-go.

Jaddi Lifestrider gets my vote. A 2/8 is pretty hard to break through and works well with spawn tokens.

Giant. Green blue doesn't seem like a bad thing to be in, then we can splash whatever we get pack 2.

Giant for this pick...last pick was a mistake imo, brood birthing or jaddi would have been a much better pick.

This pack is rather deep still though...brood birthing isn't a bad card (we could have had 2(!), induce despair is decent removal, invoker is solid, as is the giant.

Wild heart Invoker is the green one that makes a dude huge every turn right?
Seems like a good pick

Still wish we were walls

Ondu Giant for me. I wouldn't mind picking up an invoker at some point, but not over the giant this early.

I'd rather have a Leaf Arrow for the side.
