Spoiler The first thing I noticed is that this pack is chock-full of first-pickable cards. There are four that really jump out at me: Dark-Dweller Oracle, Dryad Greenseeker, Sift, and Shock. I think any of these would be valid picks, but I’m choosing Shock, since it’s just so hard for me to pass removal that is as versatile as Shock is. Of these four, Sift would probably be my last choice, with both Dark-Dweller Oracle and Dryad Greenseeker being very close behind Shock. [collapse]
