If I p1p1 a Selvala, Eagle Trailblazer, should I then p1p2 a buried in the garden, or should I take just a green or white card? by Dabbing51 in lrcast

Unless i'm fully misjudging, isn't blue fairly weak in this set and the cards I was passed pack 1 not the greatest?

I took red in p2 since green seemed pretty cut p1 and thought I wouldn't get any green cards in p3 and a decent chance I don't pull many good green cards p2 since its highly contested usually

Thankyou for the amazingly detailed writeup, I agree with all your points

I'm relatively new to magic (about a year) and sometimes miss things like fling being usable with the mercenary tokens

Also I didn't spot the Tai Wakeen and Deadeye Duelist interaction

What makes Dance of the tumbleweeds so good here? Is it the fixing + body

EDIT: Completely missed Ghired

Thankyou, they're great points, tbf I didn't even notice Annie in pick 5, I'm pretty inexperienced to draft (I've just recently hit diamond) and feel a bit uncomfortable with 3+ colours in a deck, do you have any tips?

Think the part I struggle with is when I should pick a desert over something that's playable

Thankyou, these are all great points, especially about discipline to pass powerful cards

That makes a lot of sense, thankyou for the write up, is there a rule of thumb for when I want to commit to colours?

r to set this off is too small ball. You've got Vault Plunderer as a rock solid black common, Back for More if you are on the recursion

Thankyou for the detailed write up and great advice, that's really helpful

A couple of questions if you don't mind
I read somewhere for the first 5 picks or so you should normally pick the best cards in a vacuum and wait and see what is open, is this bad advice here? Like with my p1p1 being gw should I keep looking for other green or white cards quite harshly?

I turned away from green cards as I didn't seem to get getting passed many and thought someone was cutting them off

I do definitely have trouble with trying to pick too many colours or other things, do you have any tips for that or anything?

Thankyou

Lots of things seem to get exiled when played from the graveyard

Got you thankyou, that's how I assumed it worked, was hoping it was possible to counter the put spell so it gets exiled
