Simic Guildgate but scatter arc does look appealing.

Simic Guildgate perfect point for this to be our pick

March 1, 2013 12:02 a.m.

Scatter Arc is fine, but we want consistency. There's a good chance it won't make the final cut anyways. And we already have 2 Simic Charm to protect us from nasty spells.

Simic Guildgate is the pick.

Shambleshark Guildgate

Sure, Simic Guildgate

We're a relatively aggro deck, no way we're keeping 4 mana open early.

March 1, 2013 12:07 a.m.

Guildgate.

Simic Guildgate no contest

March 1, 2013 12:13 a.m.

MagnorCriol says... #9

Yeah, Simic Guildgate. No question. Raid and Transport are both solid picks for Boros and Gruul aggro decks alike - I''m very surprised they're both still here - but obviously that's not us. Scatter Arc is a mediocre-at-best card even in a control deck, and we're definitely not that right now, so it should stay far away from our deck.

Next pack will probably have Adaptive Snapjaw and Simic Guildgate...

March 1, 2013 12:39 a.m.

That one might actually be a toss-up. Mana consistency vs a large creature... it would seem the debate may yet continue.

I was expecting the auto drafts to begin

Yep Gate lets' goooo

Don't expect too much from DDD at midnight. This whole thing is done by 8 real people, most of whom I assume sleep every so often.

TridenT says... #14

I can see a possible argument for the counter, but if we don't grab up this Simic Guildgate we'll definitely regret it.

keilahmartin says... #16

Simic Guildgate obviously

March 1, 2013 1:27 a.m.

Siggy23 says... #17

While I can see the argument for the counter, 4 mana is quite a bit for a counter spell . . . ok Simic Guildgate

March 1, 2013 2:29 a.m.

mossflower says... #18

Yeah, Simic Guildgate is pretty obvious here.

March 1, 2013 2:41 a.m.

vic says... #19

Gate. Thankfully.

March 1, 2013 2:48 a.m.

WindAndFlame says... #20

Gate, def.

March 1, 2013 2:53 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #21

@landgrafb - Everyone had already made their next pick except Lee (who we pass to, and who is up as late as me). So we're good. Gate, moving on.
