Goliath with an HM to pretty much the rest of the damn pack. Picking Goliath as a 5/5 body for 4 is not terrible and he makes something else (that scorpion god willing) much more threatening later.
I'm using the otherwise weakness of this pack to legitimize grabbing color fixing early and going for the promenade. In a set with good gold cards and multiple color combos it will be far more useful then any other card in the pack and opens me up for multiple colors for the rest of the draft.
I think UW/r seems to give the best Bang for your buck: you have two Guildgates and the Keyrune for fixing your offcolor, two Weirds and an alpha finisher in Teleportal.
This.
Coupled with the multiple little fliers and the Azorious bombs the games should go relatively quickly.
The one on the left is Repeat Performance: Your creatures arrive ready to battle, bringing friends and beneficial effects, then they return to your hand with the help of Roaring Primadox. And when you summon them again... more friends and benefits!
Fail wizards for not naming the deck "Friends with Benefits."
Just for a safety and freedom issue I would tell a store to go **** themselves if they said I couldn't bring my cell phone in.
As far as trading goes, you should use every tool you have at your disposal when doing any kind of a deal with anyone because you should automatically assume that, if you don't know them, they are trying to pull one over on you.
When I trade with friends (which are the only people I trade with) I, for the most part, use online sources as a guide but not any kind of a bible. In the end I decide what I value the card at, not the market.
Say ALex Trebek asks me "What is the capital of Russia" I can't say wait a minute let me look it up on my "smartphone". It ruins the integrity of the game just like the OP said.
The vault of the archangel is just flat silly. It makes combat impossible for your opponent and can break stalemates like a boss. I didn't lose many games when it landed.
Yeah I pulled 2 of the Vaults. Its incredibly redonk. There were multiple games where I ended it at more then 30 life cause I got a bunch of token producers.
In this pool I would likely go W/U with a splash of red for geistflame and brimstone volley. There's enough token producers in white that I would just try to peck away at my opponents life a little bit at a time while playing blue for snapcaster, the geist, and murder.
He got banned from the store, that's enough for now. So he slapped your hand away? Big deal. Just let it go. I can understand standing up for yourself but you've already won.
I think the reward here isn't worth the risk....or whatever the appropriate verbage would be.

Cool deck colors, can't wait to see lists.

Well played sir. Well played.
I wouldn't put it above Maro to do both.

I started playing Magic when Scourge was released.
