I will be unable to process this pick normally due to GP Sacramento. I've arranged with Lanxal to have him process this pick and post the following around the usual time. I will return in time to post pick 11 on Sunday night. Don't forget to bold your picks!
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

We have information! Someone took Isamaru, so we're likely to be cut on the white one-drops. Amazingly, one of my absolute favorite cards is still here, Plow Under. With 'goyf in the last pack, green is very open, and I'm tempted to abandon white and move in. Lightning Helix is our only white splash so far, so we're not losing much at all.
However, we could also go back to our artifact deck, with Etched Champion. That would certainly be the most streamlined pick.
Frankly, Arc Lightning is also great.
What do you think? Plow Under or Etched Champion or Arc Lightning?
Arc lightning is the most replaceable pick. If we wheel the hero of OR, we'll feel dumb for not taking it, but at this point I'm most interested in either moving into artifacts or moving into green.
I'm wary of plow under's GG cost, and I'd like to break metalworker, so I'm leaning towards the etched champion. But green is clearly open, and might be the better direction to move overall.
Yep, I figure our next pick with be Hero (if we're lucky) or Keldon Vandals. Let's see what our ideal move-into-green next few picks would look like:
P9: Plow Under! Wooo!
P10: Hero of OR, Keldon Vandals, Gemstone Mine, Memory Jar
P11: Masticore, Coldsteel Heart, Roar of the Wurm
P12: Call of the Herd, Wild Growth, Fireslinger, Blinkmoth Nexus
P13: Harrow, Fire Diamond, Burning-Tree Shaman
P14: River Boa? Krosan Tusker? Mindless Automaton?
P15: Drop of Honey? Mirri's Guile? Hunted Dragon? Cool cards I've not played with
P16: What's left over. Hey, it could be a 'goyf!
Looking at this, I frankly like the looks of moving into green. My fear is that someone now downstream from us picked Bloodbraid Elf, and will be cutting us all next pack.
The power of Plow Under is just so damned high, though... Darn it, we need the tiebreaker vote!
I'll provisionally bold Plow Under, but am still very open...
