yeah pretty bad pack for us. nothing that really needs hating and the Puma is the only one that we can play other than the lame snare.

I vote Stonework Puma

Squire's right on the money - and the Puma should be our pick.

We should take the Grim Discovery . We have lots of removal. We don't want to give B/W ways to get their dudes back.

So the real question here is do we draft to hate on the person drafting black or do we hate on the person drafting allies... and have a 2/2 that we could actually play in our deck. i think Grim Discovery is the better card, but i think the person drafting allies is gonna have the better cards so i advocate Stonework Puma

@Krazy - is it possible to put the pick we made in the last pack, as part of the next deck list so we don't have to go to a different screen to review what our pick was from the previous pack?

Good call. Will do that from here on out.

puma is a larger threat than grim discovery or blood seeker.

Stonework Puma i don't really want to see an ally deck get this.

And its the only thing useful to us.

April 18, 2010 4:36 a.m.

Stonework Puma

The fewer triggers for the ally player, the better. Plus it can block our boar(s).

April 18, 2010 8:58 a.m.

Stonework Puma . When a person does something to make themself better it gives them that advantage over everyone. When they do something to make someone else worse it only effects that one relationship.

Grim Discovery is annoying, and so is Blood Seeker , but I kind of don't think they're worth hating on. trapfinder's-snare actually wouldn't be terrible, since it lets us tutor for our late-game removal... but I think the Stonework Puma is going to be a more viable asset, and stops the allies from getting too crazy. Let's grab the cat.

April 18, 2010 3:38 p.m.

I'm feeling the hate on Grim Discovery - we can't let stuff come back into play after removal. We have plenty, but second chances in draft can be a disaster.

Grim Discovery

honeymomo says... #15

I would go with the discovery too!

Grim Discovery

Rockwork Jungle Cat, for reasons listed above that don't need to be copypasta'd.

Siegfried says... #17

Taking the discovery out to prevent someone reviving their painstakingly removed creatures makes more sense to me than a vanilla 2/2 when we already have so many cooler creatures.

Grim Discovery

Zanven says... #18

Even though it's currently out-voted, Grim Discovery . We have the removal to whack allies. When they hit the table we can blot them in response before they get the counters go on them from the trigger. However, we don't want someone GDing their bomb after we spend cards getting rid of it.

Picking the Puma also doesn't make our deck better at all (as Sieg said, we already have way more impressive picks in the deck), so I view both choices as hate-draft options.

Dr. McMeen says... #19

Grim Discovery . Puma takes 1 burst lightning to kill. Something that has been Discovered takes 2. Also, do we really want to give someone the opportunity to play it with the Marsh Flats that was snagged? On principle, no.

The puma... arg, I don't know. It's a colourless ally, which means another +1/+1, another life, another card, another damage, another all sorts of things... for 3 colourless mana. On the other hand, you're sort of right - Grim Discovery could effectivly counter one instance of our removal (although they still have to discover and recast whatever we remove) and it could even bring back fetch lands or man lands later... I could see changing my mind.

Grim Discovery for me.
