I really like Snapping Creeper and I'd be very surprised if it came back to us, but I agree that Searing Blaze has to be the pick here. However, I probably wouldn't draft a third Blaze over a Creeper if we have the choice again. A 2/3 that comes down early is pretty dang good to have, especially for a deck like ours that looks to be building toward the late game.
It's more that people always overvalue removal. Really, if they make a card ":symb:: Sorcery: As an additional cost, get F'd in the A. Destroy target creature." people will say "removal is removal" and first-pick it.
Like Cardoc, I really like the Snapping Creeper. a 2/3 on the cheap with a relevant landfall ability is pretty nice. But back to back Searing Blaze is hard to pass up. Hopefully the Creeper will table.
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.
This isn't even worth debating. Snapping Creepers is pretty good, but the tempo boost of Searing Blaze is nigh-unparallelled. It sees play in extended (yes, that is the litmus test). Another thing to consider: It's only pick two. People drafting ahead of us are likely not expending their early picks on Snapping Creeper (it's a bit of a sleeper). There is a decent chance that, in a set the size of Worldwake, that we'll see another creeper in picks 3-15. We will most likely not get another Searing Blaze.

We picked up a hot little number last pick. But I heard she doesn't always put out.

LOL. Go 13 Searing Blaze. And a Lavalanche, no less!
I want to know what was taken out of this pack now. It's pretty obvious the person to our right isn't playing red at least.

Clan RepresentativeSee, that's the awesome thing about searing blaze. It is not really that useful to anyone else, and it really rewards a heavy red commitment.
Voted for Zendikon...:facepalm:
