I hesitated with the Arbiter. I believe that it takes some time for the arbiter to do interesting stuff

Necrobite was a possibility, but I'm more sure I'll be red than black at this point

p1p3: RR, B, WW picks so far... how about weigh of the underworld? It's removal. Temper has been better than I expected, too.
p1p4: shield mate is good too, but 4 green cards does look like a signal.
p2p3: you just passed dauntless onslaught and wingsteed rider... that won't end well. I'd take a rage of purphoros.
p2p5: feral invocation? Although, I'm not sure which colors you are now... RG? RB? GB?
p3p3: errr favorite hoplite?!?!?! If you took rider and leader, you have to take that.
It's really too hard to give advices. You switched colors continually, I think probably missed the blue signal with triton and helix in pack one and jumped on a new color too many times when passed one good card. Especially the sudden switch back to white at the end, having passed a rider previously.
I have a hard time believing the spells can work out with only 4 swamps!
p1p3 : Yeah, moving into a third color probably wasn't a good idea while there were actual better cards in my colors in the pack.
p1p4 : I did see the shieldmate and considered it. But the green signal seemed too strong to ignore.
p2p3 : I should be more careful of what I pass. It's not something I think about yet.
p2p5 : I wasn't sure either. I believed I was at least green, so I decided to go for the mana fixing.
p3p3 : At this point, I was going to be GWB, so I thought read the bones could actually help me get cards I need, and that would be more important than the creature.
Thanks for your comments. I can imagine it's very hard to comment on it with the way it went.
I don't know enough about mana to really address that last point. However, I can tell you that I don't remember having trouble with my black. I was able to cast Thoughtseize during the first or second turn at two different occasions. The nylea presence also helped to cast my double black spells.
