Boros is so open that Gleam of Battle is a must!

Can I just say our deck really rocks?

Not much left but cluestones.

I'd say either Crypt Incursion , Orzhov Cluestone for us or Alive / Well so the others don't get it.

I vote to hatedraft Alive / Well .

I don't think we'll need the cluestone, plus we could easily end up with another one at the bottom of the pack in the next 2 rounds. But it would be my 2nd pick.

I see that both the Unflinching Courage and the Wolf Riders got picked, and that would be by 2 different groups, so that's good. We could hurt 2 GW groups by taking Alive/Well.

I don't think graveyard play will be enough of a factor in this format to take Crypt Incursion here.

Well, from my experience, having an instant 3-15 life can make a big difference when the opponent goes for an alpha strike.

I think we should take crypt incursion. I've seen it used well in drafts before and even if your opponent only has three or four creatures in the graveyard it still makes a pretty serious impact on your life total.

Good points. I might switch.

Crypt incursion can be life-gain for us, alive/well can be life-gain against us. I think we take the one for us. Even if it is niche sideboard tech, it still gives us utility against dredge heavy decks, or just a good way to keep us alive and well for a while to help stabalise. I mean, by the time you need to use a card like this, you've already lost dudes to combat, or we've not played any dudes at all, in which case we're probably flooded/screwed in some way and dead already.

I'll vote crypt.

Do you guys think we should draft all the cluestones so we can cast progenitus?

We're going to cheat progenitus out with...cheating. I got Crypt Incursion

I'm going to pass this time. whatever we pick will probably end in sideboard so I'll let you guys chose

Of course, if we're just going for life gain, we can play Well by itself as mono white. And we get the hatedraft at the same time. I really don't think dredge will be utilized much in 3x DGM.

But I don't know that I would run a card just for life gain unless I thought it was going to be huge, or I just had a weak card pool.

I suspect either card would never get run in our deck, in which case, we should be thinking hatedraft.

Slim pickings. I'd say either Rakdos Cluestone as filler / fixing or Pilfered Plans as hatedraft, although I'm not sure it's worth that.

Rakdos Cluestone. This is one of those times when the only thing worth taking is an on-color cluestone, so why not?

I don't think pilfered plans is anywhere near worthy of hatedrafting.

Looks like Pack 1 has dried up.

Thinking ahead to next round...it will be interesting to see where we go. There is room to go aggro with Unleash/Battalion, esp with the Gleam. Or we may end up with more control. Either possibility is open.

I think we're in auto draft territory now. Cluestone is fine here.

Yeah. Cluestone. Next.

Ok, Cluestone it is. I'm travelling today so I'll be forwarding the pick already. Nothing much to discuss anyway. See you tomorrow guys :P

You're doing a good job managing the pod so far, RussischerZar.

KrazyCaley should know that.

Thanks :)

Hm. 2 Options here:

• Hatedrafting Wake the Reflections
• Sinister Possession could be something like a 2-4 damage bleed, but I'm not sure it's worth the slot
