My Pick:
Not much to pick from here. I think it is between the Knight of Obligation, Slaughterhorn, and Drakewing Krasis. I generally don't like first picking gold cards, so Drakewing is out. I also think that it is a little less powerful than the other two cards, but not by much. The choice between the other two cards mostly comes down to color preference. I think they are both quite strong. Knight might be a bit better and I think it is in better guilds anyways (Orzhav/Boros).
Pack 1 pick 2:
My Pick:
A pretty weak second pack. Not much to choose from. Firefist striker is probably the best card. Two drops are generally good in this format. It could also possibly go with our first pick. Call of the Nightwing is fine, but it is double color and we have no idea what will be open at this point.
Pack 1 pick 3:
My Pick:
Cloudfin Raptor is a card I am very happy first picking. It still being here might be a signal, although a rare and uncommon are missing so maybe not. Still, it is a very good card so it is worth taking here on the chance that simic or dimir might be open.
Pack 1 pick 4:
My Pick:
Well, not much here other than a ragebeast. Unfortunately, I am all over the place with the first few picks. Hopefully the signals become more clear.
Pack 1 pick 5:
My Pick:
This is close. I go with the slaughter horn over the gruul charm in the event that simic ends up being open over gruul. Slaughter horn is great, and is very close to gruul charm if not better in gruul.
Pack 1 pick 6:
My Pick:
Not a great pack. Nothing here other than scorchwalker, so I take it with an eye on gruul.

Not a great pack 1. It looks like we are going gruul.
Pack 2 pick 1:
My Pick:
I might take gideon here for a few tickets (sadly he is not worth many), but it looks like we may be short on playables so I take swine instead.
Pack 2 pick 2:
My Pick:
A very weak pack 2. Armored transport is mediocre in gruul. I like him a lot more in boros.
Pack 2 pick 3:
My Pick:
This is more like it. Slaughterhorn is way better than rust scarab, if you were wondering.
Pack 2 pick 4:
My Pick:
A very solid two drop, which we are in need of here.
Pack 2 pick 5:
My Pick:
Shank-tail is pretty great in gruul. Things are definitely looking up.
Pack 2 pick 6:
My Pick:
A mugging this late is pretty amazing. This must have been a pretty stellar pack.
Pack 2 pick 7:
My Pick:
Crocanura going this late is just as impressive as getting the mugging last pick. Croc is great in gruul or simic and is a highly sought after creature.

Pack 3 pick 1:
My Pick:
Cinder elemental has a powerful ability, but is very slow. He often tables due to the glut of 4 drops in this format. The other two cards to consider are croc and arrows of justice. I think we are still a bit short on creatures from our disappointing pack 1, so I take the croc here. If we were doing fine on creatures I might give more weight to the arrows.
Pack 3 pick 2:
My Pick:
Another mugging is always nice. It is better than gruul keyrune, I think, despite the fact that we have a 7 drop.
Pack 3 pick 3:
My Pick:
This pick is very close between the ivy lane and the madcap skills. I went with the ivy lane denizen because I think I was still a little short on creatures.

Normally I would slam warmind over the predator, but we actually don't have much top end right now and the predator is a pretty powerful 6 drop.
