Yes, definitely maindeck Waterwhirl over Monastery Flock. Flock doesn't really do anything we want, Waterwhirl does, so discussions of mana efficiency aren't especially relevant. Dropping the waterwhirl for the flock would be one of the first changes we make against an opponent who's clearly more aggressive than we are, but I expect us to have much more use for an overpriced tempo spell than for a not-especially-big wall in most matchups.

Here I guess Weave Fate, though I don't think it really matters. I don't expect to play any of these cards and I don't care about hatedrafting any of them.

The deck is probably set; we might pull a roar of challenge or (more likely) disdainful stroke from the next one, and maybe a highland game a couple packs down the line.

Nothing I say now would change the vote, so I'll pick the FOIL Temur Charm. That said, I'll still pick the charm if it wasn't foil.

P3P10:

• Shatter
  
• Disdainful Stroke
  
• Roar of Challenge
  
• Blinding Spray

Mark your pick by either bolding it or putting it in Quote tags. If you want to change your vote, either edit your previous post or bold it & strike it through ([s][/s]) as you post your new pick.

Next pick will be tomorrow (unless there is clear consensus, in which case I might post the next pick earlier). Have fun!

Disdainful stroke.... I like siding it in if my opponent has some bomb thats otherwise hard to deal with. And I just love the card in general.

Disdainful Stroke is the best pick here. Then maybe Blinding Spray. We have enough creatures with enough power that we can trigger Disdainful Stroke to keep momentum or drop Blinding Spray to gain card advantage. Roar of Challenge works about as well as Blinding Spray on offense, but is not very useful on defense (makes sense when comparing casting costs, but Blinding Spray also has card draw).

Disdainful Stroke, though I think the cases where we'd want to board it in are extremely narrow. Most of the time, we're better off leaving it on the bench.

Absolutely Disdainful Stroke here, could really blank a huge bomb or board sweeper turn 5 or 6.

Disdainful Stroke for me. It's been good in the types of decks I play, and that's the Simic/Izzet ones.

Awaken the Bear is good in this format. Everyone expects morphs to trade at 3 and 4 mana, so trading a trick for a morph and 3 damage is nice. Highland Game is a fine replacement for our 2nd sambar but the trick is better.

awaken the bear.

If Highland Game was the only green card here, we'd take it and play it. But we don't have to. Awaken the Bear is a decent card and definitely the kind of thing we'd like to add right now. We can play it over that Monastery Flock we were all arguing about.

Awaken the Bear is extremely good. I would have been fine with wheeling just the highland game, getting this is significantly better.

Interesting that Goblinslide went before these cards, I wonder if there is a deck at the table that actually wants it, or if it just got hated as a late pick on the off chance someone else would have the deck for it.

Sure, no arguments there Awaken the Bear

Awaken The Bear. Enough said.

Awaken the Bear is the obvious pick.

Awaken the Bear, moving on.

awaken the bear... I have never actually played it.

So any chance you could finish this one out and show us the rest of the decks?

Do you really want to?

P3P12: Scout the Borders over Bloodfire Mentor, Mountain (FOIL)
P3P13: Cancel over Swift Kick
P3P14: Molting Snakeskin

I started to make the decks on Modo shortly after the conclusion of the draft, so that I could post screenshots to this thread (I strongly prefer visual decklists over text decklists, personally), but I got tilted with Modo and ended up not finishing. I'll look into it this weekend... maybe.

In any case, this is what the table looked like:
Player 1: GU
Player 2: GB(W) (you passed to this player)
Player 3: GWB
Player 4: BRW
Player 5: URG
Player 6: RW(B)
Player 7: WUBRG
Player 8: WB (passed to you. Probably had the best deck in the draft)

Funny how there were 3 straight green drafters, then 3 straight black, then 4 red, then 3 white.

Blue was definitely the undersdrafted colour to be in.
