Hmm. Good pack. Skycaptain, Angler, Scout, Lightform and of course Atarka are all good limited cards. Atarka's tempting but a third turn Lightform is devastating, especially with potential face-up shenanigans. Voting that. Don't sleep on that Angler though. Dude's good.
Slam lightform easy. Atarka is a strong finisher, but the colors force temur (mediocre in my experience) and it costs 7 mana. Lightform is a 2/2 flyer with lifelink and potential.
I would love to pick the gigantic dragon, but 7 mana is just too much for a creature with no effect the turn it comes into play (unless you have a dragon) and 4 toughness is not that hard to deal with in this format...
So yeah, Lightform for me too. To be fair, I love this card too, so I'm likely always going to be happy to pick it!
Taking Atarka. With Whisperer of the Wilds and Map the Wastes, I think there's a good ramp deck out there. And I'd be going for it. I think FRF will give more support to 2 color decks and other non-wedges, so I'm not too concerned about being pigeon holed into a specific wedge.
msun: Knives scoop ice cream.
Highroller: No they don't, knives don't scoop. Spoons scoop.
msun: Well, knives SHOULD scoop icecream.
Highroller: We have spoons that do it. Moreover, the shape of a knife that would scoop ice cream would make it horrible for performing the functions of a knife.
msun: Highroller, you bring up spoons as though they were the utensil used for scooping ice cream.
well im not sure to be honest.. lightform is very very good. but so is the dragon. i mean he needs an immediate answer or he finishes the game all allone in 2 turns.

She, not he. Why does everyone refer to all cards as he?

To be fair Atarks is one seriously manly-looking She (crazy fightin' antlers on earth usually = male?)
And also my pick. Lightform's good but "my dragon bear-punches your dragon and attacks for 18 trample by herself" is kind of good

that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I would pick Atarka just for the chance to play with it, but I agree with others that Lightform is probably the correct or "safe" pick. Only puts you in one color, is going to be good in most of your games, and has a chance to just win one here or there if you get lucky and manifest the right thing.
Atarka is the all-in bomb, Lightform is the solid card. I don't think either is wrong. At FNM or something similar I'd probably take Atarka to feed the inner Timmy. If it was a GP day 2 draft or something, I take Lightform for the consistency.

First pick for me here, followed by dragon as a finisher.
