And as 1st pick, the obvious best is lifebane. 3/1 wich is unblockable most of the time, or removes cards, and gives you info on your opponent. It can never go wrong.
The liturgy tabling isnt very likely since its removal, but the Corpse hauler is also pretty good. Its like a better version of gravedigger, that can come in turn 2 with 2 power.
Well. That seals the deal then. I'm playing Jund Beats with 4 Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch, 4 Kalonian Hydra maindeck. This is a ridiculous curve-topper for a deck that already had the most threat density in the format.
This. And with Scavenging Ooze added in. Does Experiment One and Varolz make this deck curve out perfectly? Predator Ooze rotates later, but Lotleth Troll and Dreg Mangler still look good.
That would give black 4 mythics though, and since we have at least one mythic artifact, it is unlikely they short one color a mythic and then give another color a "surplus". This is all assuming that thoughtsieze is actually in the set.
Maro has been talking recently about the weakness of black and its need for an upgrade, according to his tumblr.
Picking Marsh Flitter is setting up a more consistent deck I think. It doesn't even really force you into tribal because it's so efficient on it's own. Let the others fight for red/removal which is quite plentiful.
Easy Unflinching Courage here. Trying to figure out what could have been in the packs for three previous picks for A/D and Courage to still be here. Probably just solid rares/bombs.
This guy on the other side of the table shut down or delayed my azorious/simic fliers almost all the time. I traded with it most of the time because I had a lot of 3 power fliers, but had I any less it would of shut down the entire deck.
Intimidate isn't unblockable. You pretty much guarantee another early black drafter by passing the removal.
Also, reminds me of upper Blackrock Spire.
