I think our deck wants the Agent here. It fills the curve, and there's always a chance we can build an unblockable monster from it.

On another note, I dreamt of this pack last night. It had 8 griptides and I posted "told you we should have got unicorn"

Agent is one of my favorite cards in the format.

Agent is quite good with blue.

Agent is a good pick for us.

Dryad is a snap-pick here. Deck review time:

Sedge Scorpion
Satyr Hedonist
Omenspeaker
Leafcrown Dryad (tentative pick)
Opaline Unicorn
Nessian Courser
Agent of Horizons
Staunch-Hearted Warrior
Staunch-Hearted Warrior
Nylea's Disciple
Prophet of Kruphix
Nessian Asp
Sealock Monster
Vulpine Goliath
Nemesis of Mortals

Voyage's End
Ordeal of Thassa
Ordeal of Nylea
Griptide
Time to Feed
Curse of the Swine
Fate Foretold

I would field this with 18 lands. The warriors are looking a little weak, but they have a lot of potential upside with the ordeals.

Dryad.

@rstnme: we need to replace the Hedonist, maybe the Fate, I'd play a second Disciple over a Warrior if we can get one, and I prefer the second Monster to the giant Fox. With ten picks left, this may yet work out.

I've come to the point in this miserable format where you just take any bestow dudes in your colors.

God, I hate Theros at this point. And BotG isn't getting any better I don't think.

Amen. But at least my absence from competing in Limited has gotten me to focus on Modern.

I don't understand why you guys hate it, but whatevs. I would rather play the Hedonist than any of our 4 drops. But hopefully there are playables to come.

It's just... autopilot for me. I know how to draft the best deck with the cards I get every time, and there's little variance, save for when someone opens an amazing limited bomb like Elspeth or gets Fabled Hero and all the heroic goodies. It's not a very deep format at all.

Its about as deep as the kiddie pool in the redneck front yard.
