We have five draft tables. You will not know who you are drafting with, or which seat you have at the table. Also, please don't discuss your picks with anyone. We'll do that after the draft!
Additionally, it'd be great if you could post in this thread if you are ever going to be completely absent for multiple days during this exercise. Some hickups are to be expected, but it'd be nice to be able to tell the next drafter in line about how long they have to wait for their next pick.
The draft will hopefully start around Monday night or Tuesday morning (GMT).
Is this also a place to publish my thinking on these picks, i.e., will it eventually be unlocked for public consumption? I'd rather write it up as I go rather than put together a big write-up at the end...
White is drying up. After seeing an uncommon go over the hammer in pack 2, with Gary in the pack as well, I guessed the pick was either phalanx leader or sea gods revenge. Now, with the third pick griptide, I doubt it was SGR. With a common and uncommon missing in the pack, I'm thinking the player is cutting white.
I'm not a huge fan or BR, but it's too early for dragon mantle, and the sedge scorpion and returned phalanx aren't really signals. There is a small chance I wheel some of the chimeras I've seen, but worst case is that I pick up those crackling tritons on the wheel.
Either way, it's time to start prioritizing scry enablers.
I'm not too excited by the wavecrash triton. It can be replaced with the many crackling tritons we're liable to get back, and we are looking less heroic with every pick.
I'm seeing a lot of good red cards late, which makes me think my wheels will be solid. As good as the minotaur is, I'm going with the portent of betrayal. Red isn't hurting for four drops, and portent steals games.
The akroan hoplite and chosen by heliod is a surprise, but not enough of one to get me off the griptide train.
