Well blue seems open and I wouldn't be opposed to the possibility of going Esper. Out of these I like Cloudfin Raptor , Syndicate Enforcer and Simic Keyrune . I'm leaning towards the keyrune but I'm not sure.

I would take the Cloudfin Raptor . It seems that we are either looking at Orzhov or Simic, seeing as most of the red is gone. Syndicate Enforcer is kind of.... meh. Cloudfin raptor is a pretty solid Simic card.
My vote goes to Cloudfin Raptor

I'm gonna be the odd man out and go for Prophetic Prism . It replaces itself and can enable any splash (as opposed to guildgates and keyrunes). Apart from that, we're pretty solidly in white so my next pick would be to go Orzhove with Syndicate Enforcer .

Prophetic Prism allows for versatility. Just in case this deck ends up being a total rainbow, we could make it more viable with the Prophetic Prism

If you want to go evolve, Leyline Phantom could really help as it gives multiple evolve triggers by sending itself back to your hand

Prophetic Prism to fix colors and replaces itself. We're not quite sure what colors we're in yet, so this is good no matter what we do.
February 15, 2013 7:20 p.m.
Prophetic Prism get my vote! Clouding raptor / syndicate enforcer were close 2nd and 3rd

There are five solid Simic picks in here, so that's looking pretty much wide open at this point.
Maybe we should hedge our bets and go with Cloudfin Raptor ? This would give us two solid Simic picks and two solid white picks, and we could steer our deck in whichever direction seems more profitable based on what we're getting passed.
Prophetic Prism seems like a solid alternative. Leyline Phantom , Syndicate Enforcer , and Simic Keyrune are all pretty meh. If we find ourselves needing any of them, there's a good chance they'll show up as later picks anyway. Cloudfin Raptor is one of the set's few solid one-drops, and is an evasive beater to boot, so I say go for that.
February 15, 2013 9:24 p.m.
Just because Simic is open doesn't mean we should take it... we've got a solid white aggro base right now, I'd say Prophetic Prism and leave the off-coloring for later picks.

I vote Prophetic Prism . You're being cut from green and white, and you'll need the versatility to splash into other colors. Its not worth taking the cloudfin raptor a this point, nobody wants them from the looks of it. However, you may be feeding the player to your left some wonderful simic material. In pack 2 we'll have to watch what we get from them.

Easy pick, can fix your mana easily when going 2-3 colors, also drawing is cool
February 16, 2013 12:31 a.m.
Also, to people saying we are deep into a color... we've picked 3 cards -_-

Looks like Prophetic Prism wins it. Moving along.

Prophetic Prism gets my vote. Regardless of our final direction it will fit right in.

Cloudfin Raptor or Prophetic Prism seem like the smartest choices, not sure about Syndicate Enforcer though.
February 16, 2013 11:40 a.m.
cloudfin raptor is a solid pick, its either that, the simic keyrune or the prophetic prism probably in that order of preference.

Cloudfin Raptor or Syndicate Enforcer
Evolve or Extort, whatever you want really.
