I was playing a draft the second week up avacyn being out and i was constructing my deck when the guy across from me spilled his cherry kool-aid all over mine and his cards, he had a griselbrand and I had a cavern of souls.
I don't feel like B/G is particularly good in this format. While white black rebels is quite good. I say we pick up the tapper and look too see if anything materializes in that department.

I won both of them first with selesnya and the absolute nuts deck featuring Trostani, an extra grove and the populate enchantment.
Day 2 I played izzet and was surprised to take it down as my deck felt underpowered. Cyclonic vortex kept Turing wins out of losses for me though. That card is absurd.

The set is very balanced and I have had enough success with a variety of decks to say that green is certainly not the best color. It does what it does well when things come together but all the potential decks in the format do.
The overall difference between the best color in m13 (black in my opinion) and the worst (probably blue) is pretty small. A rare occurrence in a limited environment.

Seems questionable against some decks. I can see it being laughable against g/w populate decks. Against grindy decks with few creatures this could end games before they've begun.

I don't see any reason not to play the red. There are plenty of cards that I would love to cut for the Helkite, Shaman, and Rummaging Goblins, like the Kraken Hatchlings. How many walls do you really need?

Cut a land, the memorial, and play the War priest and the mark of mutiny.
Your deck is very aggressive and quite good. You shouldn't dilute that by playing more lands than you need and 7 drops. Another 2 drop with an excellent upside and the often game ending mark of mutiny (coming out of an aggro deck) should more than make the cut.
If it weren't for the 5 drop removal spells I would love to trim it to 16 lands but turn to slag is a fine card about on par with essence drain. I wouldn't cut these from any deck, especially not for marginal 5 drops.

Knight of glory is very strong and were definitely white. Easily the pick.
Edit: When you get passed bombs you take them. You don't force colors, you let them come and adjust accordingly. Sometimes it works out better if you stayed the course but signals are huge in drafting, you cant just ignore them and force your drafts, you'll never grow as a drafter that way.

In some environments, yes. I remember in zendikar block mono red being very good because of firebreathing creatures and Spire barrage. You have to have real incentive to go mono color otherwise why not pick up that o-ring and pacifism?
First pick nightmare? Second pick corrupt? Get some late shades? Go for it! It's not happening in our current format though.

There is too much to comment on. Crimson muckwater is the pick p1p2. Pick the best card, you arent sure you'll end up in white. Tormented soul is like the 5th best card in pack 3. P2p1 staff of nim is actually just insane. Your card evaluations are way off my friend.

p1p3- Healer of the Pride. Colorless lands are rarely good enough and ones that come into play tapped and offer a marginal effect definitely arent.
p1p4- Bladetusk boar. Goblin arsonist is often not good enough to make the cut in my 23, boar is 10 times better.
p1p6- Fire elemental. Surprisingly decent guy, you can get marginal tricks later.
p2p5- Fire elemental
p3p1- Mindclaw shaman is actuall awesome
p3p8- take the 2 drop here. you're not exalting with triple krenkos command and double captains call
Deck: -1 mastiff, this guy isn't playable. -1 fervor, effect isnt worth a card, red ring does this much better. + a bunch of cards you dont have. Really though,Wild guess, goblin battle jester and ring of thune should be in based on what you have.
