Yes, generally ones you don't want to hardcast. Even if you get a free removal spell out of it is this card that bad? I mean let's be fair there is a card called Sea God's Revenge that probably feels brutal on turn 4.

Pretty sure casting a Theros card in a BNG draft is the opposite of fair...

If this was any other block, of course I'd take the boner 'tar, bc I'd be running more than a few spells But this is the enchantron block. The only sorceries/instants I wanna cast for free are rare or situational, so that's no guarantee this guy'll be good.

Edit: Foot, meet mouth.

It's BNG / THS / THS

Clearly no one likes gorgon head... What about retraction helix? Although the mind games factor with oracle is pretty sweet. Some people will just assume you are holding some uncastable 'I win' card and give you a 5/3 haster for 4

I guess the height of inanity is shocking someone for not paying tribute

Oracle. Nothing fancy, but let's get it and see if Red is underdrafted again.

That thing should be 4/3 on attack most of the time. Yes, we pass two rare Minotaurs, but no Lords.

I really want helix actually. Removal + heroic + inspired.

But we're going to get oracle because haste and fat.

You want bestow, pick the white one, it's better. The one thing bestow didn't have in Theros is three-mana bestow costs. This one has it.

Probably take Oracle of bones, but not too keen on running blue/red in this format.

I actually like Gorgon's Head. I would just rather take colored cards to try and get into the color. Because removal.

Shrike Harpy, Pseudomamma and Chorus of the Tides are all really solid cards.

I think the pick is Harpy here, though

Chorus of the Tides

We will bestow something on the Chorus. Harpy will never be what you want it to be. Mostly, they will throw away an early drop and leave you with a 2/2 flier. Pseudamma is nice, but it's not better than the Chorus, so I vote that we stay in colors.

Bestow makes 5 drops easily interchangeables I think, I want the pseudamma (or the corus), but, again willing to change pick.

harpy does not seem bomby enough for picking it so early(EDIT:considering that bestow exist, it would be more interesting in other blocks), or am I mistaken?

Nothing that really makes me want to change colors right now. Snapping Drake is good, so my pick is Chorus.
