Ugh.... M14 is pretty difficult to draft. The amount of cmc 1~3 creatures are really, really low, if you skip the first ones you end up with a deck with cluncky deck.
With such a slow format, if someone succefully draft slivers (3 predatory, +1~2 hive stirrings, +2~3 more red or white slivers) he will beat face all the day.
I wanted to make a black/green deck based around 1/1 counters, but sadly wasn't getting any cards for that. So I went with a green/white life gain with Angelic Accord and little help on my lands. Came out eh...

That Sealed generator comes up with the absolute nuts sometimes. I just opened a pool that contained: Liliana, Ajani, Imposing Sovereign, Planar Cleansing, Grim Return and Mutavault. On top of that, 2 Pacifism, 2 Wall of Swords, 2 Banisher Priest and 2 Accursed Spirit.

Don't pick basic lands if there are other cards around
Pick cards out of yours colors that you think might help an opponent

I started with black with the first pack, but each pack that was passed to me had Predatory Sliver..so yeah.

I like the interaction between the Young Pyromancers and Time Ebbs.
Interestingly, the bots at Drafts.in also seem to pass plenty of Time Ebbs.
