I wouldn't call any of these very good but I'm leaning towards either Humble or Disciple of Grace

This is hard. I am unfamiliar with these cards, but since we have no bomb's in here, i would go with removal. We have Jagged Lightning, Befoul, and Path of Peace. Pendrell Flux could probably be considered removal. But I figure we should narrow it down to these.

My vote's for Befoul, but I'm not familiar with these sets too much. It's the best black card and removal; the other black in this pack is unimpressive, so we have a chance to cut black.

In this combination of sets, White and Blue commons totally blow compared to the others, so we need to avoid getting tricked into those colors unless we see something really good. For me, it's really hard to choose between Befoul, Jagged Lightning, and Argothian Swine. If I had to make a decision, it would be to pick Befoul and hope the Swine comes back around.

I would go with either Jagged Lightning or Path of Peace. I would go with Jagged Lightning

I would go with either Jagged Lightning or Path of Peace. I would go with Jagged Lightning

I don't know the set. I'm torn between the good removal spells like Jagged Lightning or Path of Peace, and Pendrell Flux which is either removal or locks the enemy mana down, depending on their choices. I'll go with path though, because it's bog-standard removal.

Also, on Befoul. The double black means it's not something we could splash for later, and doesn't target black creatures, so I think path is better.

I'd have to go with Befoul. These sets seem to have a decent bit of regeneration, which makes befoul a little more effective than Path of Peace or Jagged Lightning. Oh, and it can also destroy lands.

As far as personal preference I'm looking at Jagged Lightning. Red should be pretty strong if my guess at the format is correct and a two-for-one is a two-for-one. This pack has good removal in multiple colors (which are also the most appealing cards in the pack), so regardless of what we pass now, we need to keep it in mind for later.

My thoughts are thus.... Befoul or Jagged Lightning or Path of Peace are all good choices. the lightning is double removal... which makes me inclinded to move that direction... befoul is the most color intensive since it only kills 1 creature making the effect perhaps just too color intensive... i don't think we will be splashing anything like we did last time around because splashes with no fixing don't work well... for those reasons i am wondering if perhaps Path of Peace might not be a solid choice. It has the least color comittment, and could be our secondary color with the primary being something else... But i can't see having a small splash with the sets choosen.

Further we will have very little card synergy from any of the sets because they are pretty much all so very different. In such a scenario we should be expecting to go heavy into beat down mode. Thus we should be drafting a deck similar to the one we did last time around. I think we need to consider a creature heavy deck and possibly an agro deck. I like the idea of taking the red card because i think red creatures with some burn could go a long way in this draft environment. Depneding on how things shape up i could see red black or even red/white being strong choices.

I choose the Jagged Lightning in the hopes we can build a valid burn /agro deck... and maybe we can nab a Shivan Dragon when we go to beta! Second choice is the Path of Peace

I'm changing my vote to Path of Peace. It kills almost any creature regardless of color or p/t, is less mana and less likely to back fire on us than Jagged Lightning and less color intensive than Befoul

I just realized there are four decent White cards in this pack.

Humble can be used as anti-bomb, Disciple of Grace is anti-black, Path of Peace is pretty good removal, and Rune of Protection: White at least stops white from ruining your day. I think we can guarantee that either the guy to our left, or second to our left, will be in White. And Disciple/Rune have the added utility of not being dead cards in unfavorable matchups due to Cycling.

Looks like we're narrowed down to either Path of Peace or Befoul. If you want to switch your vote to one of these from something else, or have other thoughts to add, I will allow a bit more time for that.

ok i toss my support then from the lightning to the Path of Peace

I think black seems to be a stronger colour in USG and LEB, and a colour investment in it may not be unreasonable. Pestilence is a common in both USG and LEB, after all!

I'd like to vote for Befoul

If we grab anything in White, Black, or Red, we are not sending strong signals. However, Black and White both have good cards that are likely to come back around. Assuming we take Path of Peace or Befoul, there is a good chance this pack will still have something to offer when it tables.

On the other hand, if we grab Pendrell Flux, we are giving a strong signal in Blue. And we know KC likes his blue. P flux isn't the strongest card in the pack, but I'm surprised no one has even mentioned it, yet. It seems like a good way to slow an opponent down and it requires minimal mana investment. Since there's no gotta-have-it bomb in this pack, I think strong signaling gives that pick a little extra edge. Just something to think about...

In the end, I'm going to have to vote Befoul. The mana cost doesn't scare me. I like the option for land destruction. I like the black in this pack.

I'd like to cast my vote for Befoul as well. It's better removal than Path of Peace, and the heavier commitment to color is fine, as I get the impression that black is going to be an overall better choice than white for this draft.

I'd say Befoul before Path of Peace. If you draft Path of Peace, and start commit to white, someone other than you may take that Rune of Protection: White. The more black you draft, the less likely someone else is, and therefore the less likely you need to worry about black creatures that can't be Befouled.

I really don't know what to pick here, but between Befoul and Path of Peace I would have to go Befoul

Befoul is better than Path of Peace, though I would definitely go for Jagged Lightning.

Take Befoul and move on?

Voting Befoul as well.

i will switch my vote to Befoul i would rather have the option of destroying land than having the opposition gain life.

Befoul wins. Proceeding.

im going with Sulfuric Vapors.
