MTG Salvation

I don't like being double red so early when red is really weak in theros. but I did say to myself with BNG having way better removal than theros. Taking all removal pack one then get the rest of the deck in Theros sounds like a plan.

Tromper, Follower, Blood, and Infatuation are all reasonable first picks here.

One thing I like about the Blood pick is that is not G/U, which the other 3 are, making for a better signal.

in first pack, first pick it is almost impossible to pick kiora's follower, fated infatuation, and searing blood as you are committing heavily to those colors and not playing your first pick if you decide to change colors is tough to swallow.

the pick is the tromper. elite skirmihser is good but not first pick worthy. Searing blood is also great.

why are we even discussing drafting at this point. i mean pre-release is a sealed pool so really no reason to discuss until pre-release is over.

why the hell are all these "what would you pick" topics in new card discussion. They should be removed and put in the limited thread.

I chose kiora's follower over searing blood, but it wasn't an obvious choice. I don't know how good red can be in this format, but I know a pseudo voyaging satyr that synergizes with inspired mechanic is good. More of a safe bet if you will, and UG is my fav color combo in limited.

Fated infatuation. The heavy blue aside, you will more than likely have no trouble casting this by the time you would want to. It can be removal and can win games with an eot attacker they didn't account for. Though trompers wouldn't be bad. Its the best value creature in the pack and cuts green early, could really pay off pack 2

I'd take Kiora's Follower just because I usually go for high-synergy decks, which she does well. I pipe dream wheeling Tromper, but probably get Stratus Walk.

With all of the bestow creatures, Unravel the Aether is going to lead to a whole ____ load of blowouts.

It also answers the game ending Enchantment gods - for 2 mana. This card will seriously surprise.

I voted Kiora's Follower. I don't really like forcing myself into two colors right away, but this pack is mediocre. I never did like picking removal for my P1P1. Blue/Green is a very strong color combination and this card leads to a ton of tricks. I would definitely see Nullify make it back around, and Fated Infatuation too, and these cards would fit nicely in a U/G build. While Searing Blood is good and all, it is (to me) a shortsighted pick to make. I would also be passing Searing Blood, pushing the guy to my left into red, which might make for good things to come in pack 2.
