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

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.

Not considering to go into black at this point. This cube seems fairly top heavy, so I doubt we'll end up with too few ramp targets.
I'd go for either Mirri's Guile or Treetop Village. I agree that Drop of Honey is unlikely to be a good card for us.
Normally I'd go for the land, but in this low-power environment I'm not sure how comfortable we'll be with playables by the end of the draft. Also, we already have 2 shuffle effects, which increases Guile's value.
I think Mirri's Guile is an alright pick here. Card filtering is pretty useful in this environment.
Really torn between the other two -- I agree with normally picking Treetop & inclined to suggest it here aswell. We got 7-8 playables already & should be able to get atleast 2 more before the end of this pack.
I like the idea of Mirri's Guile though, but perhaps being blue might be an argument for drafting filtering abit lower (as its plentiful available). On the other hand a ramp deck really likes the early filtering, being able to draw the ramp spells first & beef after you get the mana to cast em (+maybe prevent drawing dead ramp later).
Dunno just thoughts, I'll support whichever decision you make.
To be honest I'd also be perfectly ok with the land. Let's see what WetRat says.
Although both are playable, I'm leaning just a little bit more towards Guile. I expect we'll see plenty of both filter and cards like Treetop, but for the purposes of our deck I think we'll eke out a little more mileage from the Guile.

Of course, I'm open to discussion as always
