I'm a bit uncertain about this pick. It's either wall or robber. I think the wall is the strongest of the two, but the robber fits our deck. RB is agressive colors, and our deck is rather beatdown at the moment. Do we need a wall?
Also, highway robber will put us stronger into black, and thus letting us play our other doublecost black cards. Still, if we get heavy cut in B, we don't want to have another black doublecost...
Edit: Forgot about the Runner. Personally, i dislike the him. I've tried playing with it several times, and it look better on paper then it really is. Has anyone of you felt the same, or is it just me?
Robber, Runner, WoF, and maybe Baloth. WoF I dunno about. Robber is average. I've always liked Viashino Runner, it's really a force-the-hand type of card. 4 for 3/2 isn't terrible, and it usually has to be dealt with. As for the Baloth, I guess that depends. We saw some decent green in previous packs coming from upstream, but that doesn't mean on pack 3 we'll get the same option to supplement.
Tentatively, I'm saying Runner, but I'll vote later today, I'm gonna go eat lunch first.
Putting my money on the Runner. He's more valuable than Robber, I think.
Viashino Runner is the best card by far - Highway Robber is awful; Wall is OK (though this deck wants attackers) and Treetop Bracers isn't exactly worth the splash...
Really? I've always liked the robber as random filler. The Runner might be better but I've had good experience with Robber finishing games off.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, the wisdom to know the difference, and a ****ing chainsaw.
Highway robber isn't awful; with black's recursion-- we're still not too late to see a recover or maybe a gravdigger-- you can often get double use from him and it's important to have ways to deal damage outside the red zone in this kind of deck. That said, I like the runner here- easier to cast and quite good if we can just get another removal spell or two.
I really don't think this deck wants a wall, especially one that can't block fliers. Holding back mana to try and kill whatever attacks into us is bad for us since the long game will not favour this deck. In a format that's won on bombs or tempo, we have none of the former and a little of the latter.
