Star City Games is running a sale on select Intro Packs right now, so six of us decided to do an Intro Pack draft.
Here’s a summary of how it’s going to go down: We roll for pick order and choose a pack. We draft the two boosters that come with each pack and then build a 60 card deck from the pre-constructed deck, plus the cards drafted, plus add basic lands if needed.
The boosters will be mixed together and we will do one round of Theros and one round of Journey into Nyx. Standard limited rules apply, and we plan to do 1vs1 matchups (not multiplayer).
Either the RG or WG decks by a mile. The RG deck has Asps, Nemsis, Polis Crusher, a ton of other great creatures and four Magma Jets/Lightning Strikes plus two Volcanic Geysers. The GW deck has the makings of an absurdly good heroic deck. Skyguard, Wingsteed Rider, Chariots, Phalanx Leader, good tricks and two Banishing Lights. The UB and BW decks are both decent bases and the RB deck has some potential to be drafted into a great beatdown deck if you find some good removal. The UG deck is downright awful (besides a few decent creatures and a Hubris).

Here are the packs we will be using. Since I don’t know what pick I will get, I’m just curious as to how you would rank them for purposes of limited play against each other:
Journey into Nyx Intro Pack - Mortals of Myth
Journey into Nyx Intro Pack - The Wilds and the Deep
Journey into Nyx Intro Pack - Voracious Rage
Theros Intro Pack - Favors from Nix
Theros Intro Pack - Devotion to Darkness
Theros Intro Pack - Blazing Beast of Myth
UB, RB, WG, RG, BW, UG
And performance went like this:
WG, BW, RG, RB, UG, UB
