+1 for autodraft last 3 picks from me, and THANKS for putting that doc together!

Autodraft by leader - absolutely

I wouldn't mind our leader autodrafting the last few picks.

I'm hoping to see Zhur-Taa Druid next pack. He's an easy way to get the GG for Advent, is in color, and provides a little Peck damage throughout the game unless the opponent is stupid enough to waste removal on him. It'll be interesting to see what others have taken, seeing as we've had so little competition for colors thus far.

Wind Drake would also be nice, but realistically, if no one has taken a 2/2 flier for 3 by pick 8 who are we drafting with?

@Darkness1835 the answer is orzhov committed fools, and I suspect we may be, but it's probably too early to know for sure.

We do need to address the flier threat though. That and the almost inevitable Debt to the Deathless we're going to be up against.

People are idiots if they haven't picked up Zhur-Taa Druid yet. It's by no means a Bomb or Removal, but it is 100% Efficiency.

I think we'll probably see mostly these cards in our next pack:
Clear a Path
Drown in Filth
Rot Farm Skeleton
Wake the Reflections
Sinister Possession
Kraul Warrior
Hired Torturer

If we're lucky, we'll see the Rubblebelt Maaka .

Anyone passing us the Maaka is a fool. That pack had 8 clearly playable cards and 7 clearly bad cards. We don't really want any of those cards for our build.

There's a case for Kraul Warrior , but he's a little bit green-greedy, and not as strong as he appears to be. The ability to pump him is nice, but activating it is rare at best.

I suspect our next pick may simply be a hate-pick.

I think our best possible pick in our next pack, if we see it, is Clear a Path . It would be a hate pick that we can also play out of our sideboard if our opponents have defenders. More importantly, it keep our Cyclopi safe.

Hehe I hope that's a troll comment.

There are exactly three creatures with Defender in the format, and we are grabbing every copy of one of them. The other ones are barely playable, at best.

A bear is a bear. I'd be happy with the Warrior. I'd hope we have better things to play in our 23, but it's worth nothing that it isn't complete trash.

And if there's nothing but black cards and bad white cards, I'd take Clear a Path . Not that we'd ever use it, but it just means one less copy of it in someone's sideboard.

Fair enough point. No point debating the finer points of our next crappy pick until we see what we're up against. With any luck it will be slightly less crappy than expected.

If we get like 6-7 cyclops I could consider running Clear a path in mainboard. If the battlefield has stalled up and we have no other instants in hand we can always destroy one of our own cyclops to let the others attack.

Wouldn't ANY other instant or sorcery be better in that situation?

I'd consider Clear a Path only so it couldn't be used against us, seeing as our strategy at this point is so defender-intensive. Really depends what leftovers we see from this pack. T-minus 1 hour.

Also @ this group - Autodraft procedure decided. You all will have one day to make picks 13-15, which I imagine shouldn't be a problem.

Pack's up. I'm going for Wind Drake . In color flier that needs to either be answered or blocked by another flier, which keeps our Cyclopsi alive longer. Best card in the pack leftover. I feel like we got lucky here.

No kidding. Slam dunk pick, based what was it the pack.

What are the other groups smoking? I guess I'm just glad we got out of white early.

Yep, Wind Drake. If it wasn't here I'd hate Clear the Path, but there's no question.

Considering that there seems to be no end on the good stuff the other drafters send our way I'd say we get either Weapon Surge or Simic Cluestone on the next pack :)

Thank you for the free cheap flyer, other teams. It almost feels like we're on Punk'd right now or something. There's no way we can be this lucky.

+1 Wind Drake and hit the snooze button until tomorrow.

+1 Wind Drake

Feeling pretty lucky on this one.

Definitely Wind Drake

We must be the ONLY team drafting blue. Seriously. I'd bet Runner's Bane is still in the next pack. We'll have a backup option if someone snagged Weapon Surge but then again red seems pretty open too so odds are in our favor there.

Anyone laying odds Steam Vents is still there when the following pack comes around? If I'm right about blue being ours I think it might be.
