What do you guys pick here? No obvious pick to me unless you want to commit to a guild. Shark and get to the point seem the strongest. Blade Juggler and Growth Guardian seem to be less strong but more open. This is my first draft of this set fyi.

I'd take the Sharktocrab here. Simic is quite extensivly represented here so there's the chance of having to fight for the cards, but it is also a decent splash, either blue or green, and its ability can win games. Though keep in mind, that I did not have the opportunity to draft this set yet either. Get the Point is a standard 5 mana removal spell, which while useful aren't that good in general because of the high cost.
It's between Sharktocrab and Blade Juggler. Shark is stronger, but Blade Juggler leaves you more open and both the black guilds are better than Simic IMHO. If you want Growth Chamber Guardian for the collection it's not too far behind the other two. I voted Sharktocrab but honestly I could go either way between that and Juggler depending what I felt like drafting.
Blade juggler is better here. I like Sharktocrab, and it is an objectively better card, but forces you into Simic. For P1P1, don't first pick multicolor cards unless they are absurd(Mortify, Rakdos Firewheeler, Hydroid Krasis, Seraph of the Scales, etc).
Sharktocrab is a straight-up bomb and easy first pick for me here. Not only is it an incredibly efficient creature but it's also something I'd be more than happy to splash even if I end up base Gruul or Azorius.
If you REALLY want to stay mono-colored GCG is a fine card (and hey maybe you'll live the dream and open a second) but I think the power level is so far below Sharktocrab here that you really should just take the best card.
Juggler is another fine single color card that can leave you outs for Orzhov or Rakdos but I feel it's less powerful than a flexible and cheap evolve creature in GCG, and you won't always be able to trigger its spectacle cost.
Get the Point is a fine removal but as a 5 mana and 2 color card I think there are enough comparable replacements for it that I wouldn't be too heartbroken passing it over the single color cards.
