Anowon, the Ruin Sage is a Bomb.
The abyss is powerful even if you don't have other ways to remove guys, and with 1.5 more common removal spells in black (in a small set mind you) you can get huge EV outta this guy. Oh and he can't die to himself.
"For whatever reason, I didn't encounter that much blue at the Prerelease, so this list is pretty small"
Blue is the worst color, and is relitively poor in Zendikar. I am not shocked you saw little blue, Better in draft than in sealed, by ALOT.
"Jagwasp Swarm. It's a 3-power flier for four mana in black. It's playable"
Snapping Drake would like a word with you sir. He is a 2-4 pick in every draft fromat he has ever been played in. ZZW is going to be slower (some what) than ZZZ. this guy using your terms is Auto playable.
"Pulse Tracker. Seems really underwhelming by himself. Maybe good filler for a Vampire deck? Or if you have a couple Urge to Feeds."
"Skitter of Lizards. More multikicker creatures, and this one has haste. Don't kid yourself, running this guy out on turn one is legit. Playable."
1/1'S for one mana aren't very good in limited unless they have some sort of upside. Haste isn't one.
"Hedron Rover. He's a 2/2 for two mana, which is pretty meh. But he can be pretty good on offense when you make your landfall. Good filler, maybe playable."
Is a 4/4 for four mana on offence and like most all landfall guys is poor on D. 4/4 for four is very good in a race.
A note on the format
In the first draft i did a pool of our 4 man pod to see how may land each player was playing the totals came out to
1 16 (G/W)
4 17
3 18
1 19 (B/u, Me)
my land base broke down to
11 Swamps
5 Islands
2 Quicksands
Two long time things i belive about limited
1 The better the deck is is necessary to run more land
2 Lands that work as men (I.E. Dread Statuary) or spells (Quicksand) Should be counted as .5 of and land and may require you to play more land
Just my 2 cents
K.
oh and white is far and away the second best color in zendikar draft andy, and its not close

o... My b. Thought it cost 2 r/b r/b. Well then hells yes go with torment. Yeah topdecking it would stink and dmg can't be prevented which has it's pros and cons.
it doesn't do anything. 2 damage a turn is a good clock.

have you tested any of these? if modo and live ptq results are any indication then i think this deck would be less then a great choice...
