All three cards are mediocre but good enough to include. I like Vault Skirge and Scimitar the most out of the three - a 1/1 flier is a fine one drop for any aggressive deck but a 1/1 on the ground even with an upside is more marginal.
I really like borderposts and hate gold cards for pauper cube. We need fixing and borderposts are actually really fine fixing. Gold cards are hard to cast and make drafting more awkward as the last picks are almost always gold cards
In limited, the chances of either of those being true is relatively high, though. Those conditions are only slightly more lenient than the average drafter, and even with that standard you'll have to mulligan a fair amount.
Wingsteed Rider is very good actually, even in pauper cube. Anyone running an aura theme should run it for sure.
There are many worse keywords. Heroic is fun and good in draft, in constructed it doesn't really matter as there are often no cards with a particular key word that are very good. Noone's running any bestow cards in standard either.
If you seriously think that your shuffling in real life is as random as the modo shuffler, then I don't know what to say to you - that's just not true. Yes, you can get a degree of randomness (well, unpredictability) by shuffling well, but it is not nearly as random as the shuffler online regardless of whether the modo shuffler is truly random or not.
If you get worse hands on modo than in real life, and you use the same deckbuilding techniques and draft as well in both, then it's overwhelmingly more likely that you're not being sufficiently random in real life, not that the modo shuffler "isn't random enough".
Yeah, the bouncer is very strong in nearly all blue decks. He's an easy card to cut in deckbuilding until you see the work that it does in play nearly every game.
That's very late for this card. I think it's a 6-8 pick. It's very good against some decks (the green mirror for example) and is always a fine card.
In terms of Onslaught vs Leader, I prefer the leader because getting enough powerful heroic creatures is harder than getting enough heroic triggers. If I'm drafting white in this format I'm drafting heroic.
No. Casting it on yourself is not a good idea
Esper is a bad matchup. Yeah, Wafo-Tapa was beaten in one match, but that means hardly anything. Google "statistics".
Ashiok is terrible in this deck, it's far too aggressive for that plan. Your FNM is not a high level event.
