First six cards are from run A, last 3 from run B, players before us picked an uncommon and Akroan Skyguard. I think this a decently tough pick, especially given that knowledge.
Leaning towards one of the red cards. I think I want Fanatic of Xenagos but Fearsome Temper is not at all bad in an aggressive red deck and leaves us more flexible as there's no clear indication we are going to get good future green. What do you guys think?
I don't think Divination is good enough to want to jump into a third color for it. I agree with that short list - I think I'd agree that the Fanatic is the pick. I think it's enough better than the Fearsome Temper (which I do like) to justify it. I've found green pretty underdrafted in the BNG pack just because there aren't a lot of really great green cards, though there are a lot of solid 4-8 pick sort of ones (Tromper, Wolf, Swordwise Centaur) and the payoff in Theros can obviously be nice with Asps and Leafcrown Dryads waiting.
I agree completely with this whole post! Fanatic of Xenagos is my pick.
I never seem to get a chance to be in green in drafts at my LGS. It seems like it's the most popular color at my particular store!
Huh. That's interesting. Most of my experience with the format is Swiss queues on MTGO where people seem to be trying really hard to get the WR or WB aggressive thing to work and often green and black end up being more open.

That's interesting about the Skyguard! We should definitely keep that in mind.
