Sorry about that, KrazyCaley. Apparently I need to go back to setting an appropriate phone reminder for submitting. -_-

And the next pack's up!

We have two days to talk and submit this one, since it's going to be a rather busy day for KC and whatnot.

+1 ill-tempered cyclops.

Considering our decision to be R/G, this is the only logical decision. If you are tempted to go back to black or black green, just be aware that whoever we pass this to will see gary or reaper, therefore we will have competition for black in the next pack.

The blue is far more tempting, but we probably need to be sticking to the colours at this point, than wildly flailing around.

+1 cyclops

Agreed. I think sticking with the red green plan now is best. This is a good pack, but not terribly exciting in our colors. Hopefully this will just further steer people away from RG so we continue to get good cards.

+1 Reaper of the Wilds

First off, soooo much green in this pack! Anyways, I'm torn here: The neighbors we're now passing to ate up all the black, and I'm not happy passing Gary nor a black bomb their way. Of the two, this one we can at least entertain the possibility of splashing for.

That said, I wouldn't be too disappointed with the Cyclops, as it is the stronger card as we stand now. Though with a greater chance of seeing Cyclops again and with how little removal we have now, I think a hexproof / deathtouch-able critter is worth splashing.

-1 cyclops+1 reaper

I'd be happy splashing B for the Reaper and the Mender we picked up earlier. They're both strong cards.

The way I see it, we can pick the cyclops, the titan's strength, or the reaper.

Reaper is the best card by far, and as GureiSeion said, he is splashable in Gruul. 4/5 for 4 is good, and activated deathtouch and hexproof is pretty good too. And his triggered ability is pretty amazing. Cons are that he requires us to splash black.

Ill-Tempered Cyclops is a 3/3 trample for 4 with monstrosity 3 for 6. While he is playable, I don't see him as a bomb or anything amazing. He does go well with pumps since he does have trample. Depending on how many other groups are in red me could see him again, and as common we could see more.

Titan's Strength is ok. We already have one, and as a common we could see more. It's pretty good in heroic, but we only have one heroic dude right now, so it would be used as a fairly vanilla combat trick. I'd take this last of the three options.

+1 reaper
