Pick 1

My Original Pick: Vampiric Sliver

My Revised Pick: Sprite Noble

Here is my first pick of TTP! Originally I picked Vampiric Sliver because I thought maybe if I got lucky I could run slivers. I later realized this wasn't a good strategy in TTP overall. There were a few good cards in this pack in Trespasser il-Vec, Amrou Scout, Grapeshot, and Sprite Noble. The Sprite Noble is probably one of the top cards in this pack, and I also hear blue is pretty strong in TTP so that is why my revised pick is Sprite Noble.

Pick 2

My Original Pick: Coal Stoker

My Revised Pick: Coal Stoker

This pack put me in an interesting position. The two main cards I was trying to decide between were Coal Stoker and Durkwood Baloth. The Baloth is a good big creature, with nice first turn supsend capability, but the Coal Stoker has huge potential with a nice RRR kickback when you play him. Overall I think I like the Stoker better right now.

Pick 3

My Original Pick: Fathom Seer

My Revised Pick: Fathom Seer

Fathom Seer is an amazing card and great for card advantage. Durkwood Baloth is also a good card in this pack, along with Looter il-Kor. Overall I have to pick the Seer here as it stays with my previous color choice and allows me to start focusing on a deck a little bit.

Pick 4

My Original Pick: Strangling Soot

My Revised Pick: Orcish Cannonade

Strangling Soot, my original pick, is an great removal card. However, I don't really want to play black because I've heard it is the weakest color in this format. I can afford to not take it here because there is another removal spell that replaces itself by allowing you to draw a card when you play it. Orcish Cannonade is that card, and after lengthy deliberation I decided to make this my revised pick.

Pick 5

My Original Pick: Skulking Knight

My Revised Pick: Slipstream Serpent

Skulking Knight doesn't seem to good overall, but it was the best pick for my original colors I was thinking were red and black. Right now in my revised draft I am looking at red and blue, and in those colors the pick is clearly Slipstream Serpent.

Pick 6

My Original Pick: Keldon Halberdier

My Revised Pick: Keldon Halberdier

I really really really like this card. It has a nice first turn suspend capability, but it also is good in late games. The downside to it is that it only has one toughness and can easily die to any sort of removal, but if it stays on the board it is unlikely many creatures will be able to kill it.

Pick 7

My Original Pick: Flowstone Channeler

My Revised Pick: Flowstone Channeler

I felt I needed a cheaper creature here, and I think Flowstone Channeler is overall better than Bogardan Rager anyways.

Pick 8

My Original Pick: Coal Stoker

My Revised Pick: Coal Stoker

Yay another Coal Stoker. I really really really like this card, and I'm glad I get another one.

Pick 9

My Original Pick: Grapeshot

My Revised Pick: Grapeshot

Grapeshot is a really nice card and good removal. I also this that it would work great with Coal Stoker. It is definately the right pick here. The other card possibly in contention for the pick is Slipstream Serpent.

Pick 10

My Original Pick: Dream Stalker

My Revised Pick: Lord of Atlantis

I originally picked Dream Stalker because it would be a nice blocker, but after the fact I realized what would have been better here would be a solid two drop. The problem with the Stalker is you have to return something to your hand and it doesn't have flash, so it is a disadvantage to you in most situations. The Lord of Atlantis is at least a 2 drop that has no detriment.

Pick 11

My Original Pick: Traitor's Clutch

My Revised Pick: Traitor's Clutch

I thought this was the best card in the pack. Someone might make an arguement for Merfolk Assassin.

Pick 12

My Original Pick: Orcish Cannonade

My Revised Pick: Orcish Cannonade

Wow this is a rather late present I think. So I think I'll take the Cannonade.

Pick 13

My Original Pick: Plains

My Revised Pick: Plains

Yay a foil Plains! Best card in the pack.

Pick 14

My Original Pick: Blazing Blade Askari

My Revised Pick: Blazing Blade Askari

This guy is playable and I don't mind taking him at all.

Pick 15

My Original Pick: Clockspinning

My Revised Pick: Clockspinning

This seems to be a common last pick from what I've seen.

Pick 16

My Original Pick: Tendrils of Corruption

My Revised Pick: Rift Bolt

Originally I seemed to be in black somewhat so I picked Tendrils of Corruption. Looking back I don't think I was strong enough in black to make it work that well, but even if I was my revised draft doesn't have me in black. Here the obvious pick for me is Rift Bolt.

Pick 17

My Original Pick: Browbeat

My Revised Pick: Brine Elemental

This pick might have been slightly influenced by nostalgia as I played when this card originally came out and I remember it being really good in my all red casual deck. However looking back Assassinate may have been the best pick in my original deck, but in my revised deck there is no question that I should pick Brine Elemental as it is just amazing.

Pick 18

My Original Pick: Rift Bolt

My Revised Pick: Rift Bolt

It is always nice to get another Rift Bolt, nothing else here jumps out at me in my colors, although Momentary Blink is another good card.

Pick 19

My Original Pick: Vampiric Sliver

My Revised Pick: Drifter il-Dal

The nicest cards in this pack are all in white, but I am not in white. The decision comes down to Drifter il-Dal or Thick-Skinned Goblin. In the end I decide to take the Drifter because it could be nice evasion.

Pick 20

My Original Pick: Empty the Warrens

My Revised Pick: Empty the Warrens

Empty the Warrens fits in nice with any deck, but I think will be even nicer with my two Coal Stokers and various other cards I already have.

Pick 21

My Original Pick: Wildfire Emissary

My Revised Pick: Wildfire Emissary

I really like Wildfire Emissary out of this pack. There is no blue to be seen, and while Undying Rage should be playable since it gets returned to your hand, I'm not a big fan of the fact that the creature it enchants can no longer block.

Pick 22

My Original Pick: Sudden Shock

My Revised Pick: Sudden Shock

Getting a Sudden Shock this low is nice, and it is definitely the right pick here.

Pick 23

My Original Pick: Lightning Axe

My Revised Pick: Lightning Axe

Wow another removal spell and there is no way I'm going to complain about it. It is good for early threats, and for late game when you can pay for it with all the mana. Some people I talk to say it is one of the best limited commons in the set.

Pick 24

My Original Pick: Rift Bolt

My Revised Pick: Sage of Epityr

WOW!!! A Rift Bolt should NEVER make it this low... wait, I revise picked it in the first pick of this pack... that makes me take the only other blue card here, which is Sage of Epityr. I maybe should have hate picked the Cavalry Master or Thunder Totem here though.

Pick 25

My Original Pick: Faceless Devourer

My Revised Pick: Sage of Epityr

Only card in my color. The white cards aren't good, Faceless Devourer is ok, and the Wurm is kind of expensive but good, but I'm going to take the Sage of Epityr because it is semiplayable and in my color.

Pick 26

My Original Pick: Tectonic Fiend

My Revised Pick: Tectonic Fiend

I think I have enough Sages by now, so I'm taking the Tectonic Fiend.

Pick 27

My Original Pick: Thick-Skinned Goblin

My Revised Pick: Thick-Skinned Goblin

Nice! The Goblin tabled, I'll definitely take it here.

Pick 28

My Original Pick: Cancel

My Revised Pick: Cancel

Cancel is the best card here.

Pick 29

My Original Pick: Mindlash Sliver

My Revised Pick: Mindlash Sliver

Ummmmmm yah, I had to pick a card.

Pick 30

My Original Pick: Divine Congregation

My Revised Pick: Divine Congregation

Once again, I had to pick a card or the computer would have picked it for me.

Pick 31

My Original Pick: Sulfur Elemental

My Revised Pick: Aeon Chronicler

I originally picked Sulfur Elemental because I've heard how good it is in constructed, which doesn't necessarily apply to limited at all. Upon review, it is still good in limited, but Ovinize and Aeon Chronicler are also very good. Overall I believe that The Chronicler is the best choice here as it has potential to give you some nice card advantage.

Pick 32

My Original Pick: Rough/Tumble

My Revised Pick: Rough/Tumble

(Prodigial Sorcerer) caught my eye first, until I saw Rough/Tumble which could be huge. It can either clear out smaller guys on the ground, or pretty much everything in the sky. The latter will be a huge problem for my deck, so this was definately the right choice.

Pick 33

My Original Pick: Needlepeak Spider

My Revised Pick: Shaper Parasite

Here I was thinking I needed defense against fliers, which is true. However, Shaper Parasite is a much much better card. It is a 2/3, which isn't bad, but its morph ability is a removal spell in itself a lot of the time.

Pick 34

My Original Pick: Rathi Trapper

My Revised Pick: Dead/Gone

While Wild Pair is amazing it just doesn't fit in my deck. Rathi Trapper was a good card, but Dead/Gone is in my revised color and better as it gives you two options to deal with your opponent's creatures.

Pick 35

My Original Pick: Blightspeaker

My Revised Pick: Shivan Meteor

Blightspeaker is nice, as you can ping away life and search for rebels (which I don't have a lot of), but Shivan Meteor is so much better as you can use it hardcast or suspended.

Pick 36

My Original Pick: Prodigal Pyromancer

My Revised Pick: Prodigal Pyromancer

Molten Firebird is too expensive to be useful, but Prodigal Pyromancer is not. Pinging is always good, especially when you might need just 1 more damage on a creature to kill it. You can always just ping away at your opponent's life too.

Pick 37

My Original Pick: Skirk Shaman

My Revised Pick: Skirk Shaman

This pick was between Skirk Shaman and Stingscourger. The latter is really good, but I didn't have a lot of cheaper creatures at this point. The Shaman is also very useful evasion, which I don't have much of. Overall I think I like (Stinkscourger) better, but the Shaman fit better in this deck.

Pick 38

My Original Pick: Battering Sliver

My Revised Pick: Primal Plasma

I have abandoned the sliver idea in my revised picks, and the best card left in my colors is Primal Plasma.

Pick 39

My Original Pick: Spitting Sliver

My Revised Pick: Simian Spirit Guide

Spitting Sliver is a bit too expensive, and now out of my colors. Simian Spirit Guide could prove useful, and is the best card left.

Pick 40

My Original Pick: Needlepeak Spider

My Revised Pick: Needlepeak Spider

This is the level at which I should pick Needlepeak Spider, as I could really use a creature to block fliers.

Pick 41

My Original Pick: Midnight Charm

My Revised Pick: Merfolk Thaumaturgist

The Merfolk could be a neat trick to use in combat, but it is a bit expensive.

Pick 42

My Original Pick: Firefright Mage

My Revised Pick: Firefright Mage

Best card in my colors, and probably the pack.

Pick 43

My Original Pick: Merfolk Thaumaturgist

My Revised Pick: Merfolk Thaumaturgist

Read two picks ago.

Pick 44

My Original Pick: Phantasmagorian

My Revised Pick: Phantasmagorian

Picked the uncommon, plus a potential big creature that I probably couldn't handle.

Pick 45

My Original Pick: Brain Gorgers

My Revised Pick: Brain Gorgers
