I think 《Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood》 is like a “trap” here, it is a good card, but paying 7 mana for a spell, means to win the game if we are ahead, or at least come back to the game if we are behind. I am happy about starting my draft with a really good colorless card: 《Icy Manipulator》. Special mention to 《Baloth Gorger》, usually a 4/4 costing 4 is good in draft, and depending on how fast/slow is the format, 《Urza's Tome》 can be a good card also.

I think 《Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood》might be too slow for draft and while 《Shivan Fire》 is good. I’d rather have a colorless card that is effectively a removal spell for their best creature every turn.

The second most powerful card in the set behind 《Karn, Scion of Urza》 .The rare is also good but it has to be regarded as a multi-color, so generally, picking colorless first will make deck constructing more flexible.

I’m not sure how fast is this format, and how to evaluate cards, so I’ll just make a safe pick with removal.

I believe this is a weak pack. I pick the best card, a 2/2 first strike with an upside.

Two mana for a 2/2 first strike is a great rate, and its abilities are all upside so hard to go wrong with this pick I feel. 《Merfolk Trickster》 seems ok, but it’s not a 2 drop in the sense that casting it on turn 2 will rarely get you the value that you want out of a card like this. 《Arvad the Cursed》 seems pretty powerful to me, but not really looking to pick a gold card this highly unless I’m convinced BW is the way to go.

We must pick any good 2 drops as early as possible.

2/2 first strike for 2 is great. This one even has an upside.

Here I believe 《Baloth Gorger》 is the best card in the pack.

Nothing really exciting in this pack, so I would just take the 《Dark Bargain》. Looking at the top 3 taking 2 at instant speed seems solid. There’s definitly an argument for 《Fungal Infection》 as that card seems like it could be quite good in combat, but that’s the type of card that I see going up in value as the format progresses depending on how the games play out.

It’s huge. No need to explain. 《Fungal Infection》 is the second one in the pack, but you should pick creatures over spells in priority in early stage.

4/4 for 4 is usually great in limited, this gets better in the lategame.

Nothing exciting here, maybe Rona is good in lategame. The 2/2 stats are bad, but maybe if we end up in a UB control, is a good card for our deck.

I think the other black cards in this pack are playable, but Rona has the most upside for sure. We already have 1 Historic spell and this early in the draft we can look for more further down the road.

Can reuse 《Icy Manipulator》 even if it has been destroyed .If it’s your 4th pick, it allows you to go for “Historic” after.

Good uncommon in our colors. 3/3 trample for 3 is enough to make this card good, and I expect some green and red cards to have kicker.

I don’t think this card is good enough because it’s too expensive, but there is nothing too special beside 《Dark Bargain》 and 《Mammoth Spider》.

Not super thrilled about this pick to be honest. thought we don’t really want to take another 《Dark Bargain》 here as I feel it gets worse in multiples. At the very least 《Arcane Flight》 could outright win you a game depending on the matchup.

It’s a good creature who can stop most commons. 《Slinn Voda, the Rising Deep》 seems a little too expensive.

Looks like a nice combat trick for one mana. I like that!

I like this land a lot. I think there is not too many double cost, and you can afford playing a colorless land in a 2 colors deck. Special mention to 《Powerstone Shard》, maybe having 2-3 of this is a good way to play 8+ cc spells.

I know there are other Blue/Black cards in this pack, but I don’t think this card should ever be in a pack this late. Exile any creature at instant speed and it’s able to splash? Sign me up, I’ll be looking for a 《Navigator's Compass》 for sure.

I’d never expected that I was able to pick a good removal in such a middle of the draft! Started considering white essences into my green-based, multi-color deck.

Not sure how good this is, but set seems to be very artifact-oriented. In worst case we just get a decent sideboard card.

I like a lot of the tricks that untap creatures. +2/+2 also untapping for 2 mana is a good deal, with an upside paying 2 more.

《Cabal Paladin》, four mana for a 4/2 is just not a good enough rate in my opinion. 《Pegasus Courser》 however seems quite solid and now we’re positioned to be able to go UB or BW going forward.

Because my deck seems to be multi-color, I prefer to pick a fixer. Otherwise, my second choice would be 《Pegasus Courser》.

Medium pump spell. We have one better already, but this might be worth playing if we get more kicker synergy later.

At this moment we don’t know what colors we will play, but we need 2 drops and this seems playable.

《Serra Disciple》 might end up being better, but you definitely need to draft a critical mass of Historic spells for it to be playable. At least the 《Honor Guard》 is good enough on its own.

Picking a card for our 2 drops. There was a pegasus in the pool and I regret not picking white.

The only card in our colors.
