Doing alright, Supersun?

Submitting Gatekeepers shortly.

Yeah, was away from home for a day. (Not that there's much to say).

The only thing worth noting is that Runner's Bane being here shouldn't be too surprising with the number of blue related picks in the pack. Faw / Away was obviously better removal. Beetleform Mage is a beastly creature, and Fluxcharger would also be worth picking over Bane.

What this pack does show is what I suspected, not very many people to our left are blue and are probably mostly white or black. There looks to be at least one other possible red drafter at the table though besides the Izzet drafter.

Whoah, check out that Viashino NotPickedFirstblade!
Protect / Serve
Boros Cluestone
Mindstatic
Riot Piker
Sinister Possession
Viashino Firstblade

Previous Picks:
Renounce the Guilds (ours)
Steam Vents
Give / Take
Spike Jester
Battering Krasis
Maze Sentinel
Morgue Burst
Rakdos Drake

I imagine the Izzet player nabbed the 'Vents. Not really digging what's left, but that's what I've come to expect this late on in drafting.

If we're serious about splashing red, Firstblade or Cluestone may be what we want. Not too worried about someone else having the Piker with all the tough-guys we have.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Protect / Serve TABLED!!
Does that mean we are going to see 2x Protect / Serve next pack with the Render Silent? Or did someone just get the idea to switch too late?

Ok, this is seriously confusing me.

People are definitely picking blue, the first pack told us that, but maybe no one is running Azorius?

I guess from what I'm seeing I assume...

Far / Away -> Rakdos Drake or Spike Jester
Flux -> Steam Vents
Beetlemage -> Give / Take or Battering Krasis

Well, Seeing that Protect / Serve again imo is good news so far. It means that no one to our near right is probably running white though we'll have to see the next pack to get some more information.

In terms of the pick, +1 Viashino Firstblade.

Normally I'm not against Riot Piker, but when the average 4 drop is a 2/4..
yeah, no...

+1 Viashino Firstblade

Wanted to vote for sinister possession then went back to sleep for a few hours. i see the error of my ways

+1 viashino firstblade

Sinister possession isn't bad...

+1 Viashino Firstblade

I actually won a draft off of sinister possession. Stuck it on a t2 riot piker and dropped a wall to block it all day. My opponent was NOT amused.

Still not a great card though...

Viashino will be more beneficial to us if we end up Naya, than Sinister will be if we continue Junk.

+1 Viashino

zephyrkey I almost laughed during a lecture when I saw your post. Lol. Maybe we could try that if there is absolutely nothing else to choose. >:]

Hah, there are plenty of 2/4;s to toss it on!
