Nothing in here's all that great. I say Mana LeechMTG Card: Mana Leech because at least that's castable with our colors.

Ugh at these picks. I second Mana LeechMTG Card: Mana Leech.

April 25, 2012 2:22 p.m.

Mr_Nate says... #3

I say DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency. It can take the teeth out of a creature and is repeatable if they sacrifice the creature.

DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency is as good as removal against all the crappy creatures everyone is going to have to play with. Even though it's a creature Mana LeechMTG Card: Mana Leech is just not worth playing at all.

April 25, 2012 2:31 p.m.

DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency by a mile. Repeatable creature shutdown is boss.

DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency as decent removal -- we're playing a control deck here, so having a way to nullify a big threat repeatedly is nice. If we don't take that, I vote for the Argothian SwineMTG Card: Argothian Swine as the only actually playable card in the pack of ANY color.

April 25, 2012 3:09 p.m.

I like despondancy because it's going to keep allowing us to make threats less problematic. Mana leech was appealing but I don't know of any utility lands that we should be especially worried about, and playing a guy whose sole purpose is to shut down one land seems a bit useless. I'd rather be shutting down an enemy threat with a card I can reuse once it's dead.

DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency for me.

I'll toss my vote in the DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency bandwagon.

DeckBuilder345 says... #9

i guess i will despondently toss my vote behind DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency but our lack of creatures at this point has become alarming!!!!!!!! Tempted to pick the Mana LeechMTG Card: Mana Leech because he is a dude at least and we need them badly.

April 25, 2012 5:55 p.m.

It's true we need to keep an eye out for good creatures, but if the better cards are the non-creatures then there's no helping it. It's still pack one after all. But you're correct, we need to keep an eye out for any viable creatures soon.

Tinselteeth says... #11

Considering this is pack one, I'll go for the DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency and pray for decent creatures as the draft progresses.

April 25, 2012 6:58 p.m.

Id say DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency as well, sense we already got the black de-buffs going from SickenMTG Card: Sicken...might as well toss in DespondencyMTG Card: Despondency.

April 25, 2012 8:03 p.m.

There's no point having a decent number of creatures if all of them are crap 1/1's. Recurring removal is much, much better. We'll get creatures later.

HumbleMTG Card: Humble is worth consideration. It's only 1w and we already picked Path of PeaceMTG Card: Path of Peace, though i agree we should try to stay out of white as a rule

Mr_Nate says... #16

Honestly I think our gameplan is pretty funny right now. Remove everything and spire owl comes in for 20.

April 26, 2012 12:20 a.m.

That plan wins games. I've done similar with B/R in a triple DKA draft.

I find it amusing that these packs are so bad that we're getting instant consensus on what to grab. One decent card per pack GOOOO.

April 26, 2012 6:55 p.m.

Well it's that plus the colours aren't exactly spoiling us for choice...
