Guardians of Meletis
Battlewise Valor
Commune with the Gods

Ephara's Warden
--> Sip of Hemlock
Stymied Hopes
Lost in a Labyrinth
Setessan Battle Priest
Triton Shorethief
Glare of Heresy
Forest
I cut this as last card. Should've probably never been cut. I noticed that every time I took that black mythic with the same mana cost, I would rather have drawn this card. Ended up siding it in every time.
Pack 2 pick 9:
Pheres-Band Centaurs
Nylea's Presence
Returned Centaur
Fate Foretold

Breaching Hippocamp
Aqueous Form
Agent of Horizons (FOIL)

Viper's Kiss
--> Lightning Strike
Traveling Philosopher
Yoked Ox
Blood-Toll Harpy
Benthic Giant
Voyage's End
Setessan Battle Priest

Lots of stuff here. Was this the right pick? Vs Magma Jet and Arena Athlete (the Athlete wheels)
Pack 1 pick 1: Purphoros's Emissary over Purphoros, God of the Forge
Pack 1 pick 2: Coordinated Assault over Rageblood Shaman (man, some mizxed signals here. the best card in each pack is red)
Pack 1 pick 7: Breaching Hippocamp over Fleetfeather Sandals
Pack 1 pick 8: Deathbellow Raider (ok, switching to BR aggo here)
Pack 1 pick 11: Bronze Sable over Spark Jolt
Pack 2 pick 7: Blood-Toll Harpy over Voyage's End
Pack 3 pick 3: Lightning Strike Lots of stuff here. Was this the right pick? (yes)
I never saw the god in play. It seemed like a bomb but was in fact very disappointing in play.
I couldn't resist the shaman I knew it wasn't the correct pick, but after the god and so early in the draft I wanted to give it a shot.
In the games, I always had 1-2 minotaurs so he did good work.
P1P3: I love griptide. I maybe undervalue Tormented Hero, but passing a griptide for it so early just seemed wrong.

I hope my opponents write out my matches, I played 3 games vs MTGs'ers.
I do remember that I didn't splash blue and kept my curve quite low.
If I have time tomorrow I'll try to edit the deck in.
I went 2-0 (marengo), 1-2 (JCuff), 2-1 (kalisti) iirc.
Pack 1 pick 2: Coordinated Assault over Rageblood Shaman (man, some mizxed signals here. the best card in each pack is red)
Pack 1 pick 7: Breaching Hippocamp over Fleetfeather Sandals

Pack 2 pick 7: Blood-Toll Harpy over Voyage's End
Pack 3 pick 3: Lightning Strike Lots of stuff here. Was this the right pick? (yes)
So pack 3 turned out nicely for you.
Congrats on your result.
I couldn't resist the shaman I knew it wasn't the correct pick, but after the god and so early in the draft I wanted to give it a shot.
In the games, I always had 1-2 minotaurs so he did good work.
