Pack 1 pick 1:
My Pick:
Pretty good pack for me, as my first pick is good and I don't pass any relevant White card.
Pack 1 pick 2:
My Pick:
Once again, a good card while pushing my neighbors to Red and not passing any good White.
Pack 1 pick 3:
My Pick:
Windrider Eel would be good for the deck, but Adventuring Gear, even though it's not a card I like that much in most decks, is excellent in white.
Pack 1 pick 4:
My Pick:
I thought for a while about picking one of the two White auras here, but Into the Roil is a lot better, and Blue is the color I'm the most likely to play if I need a second. Indeed, I've passed too much Red to hope for a refill in pack 2, and WG or WB are not open, nor are they my favorite combinations anyway.
Pack 1 pick 5:
My Pick:
I don't like it much, but I'm not interested in anything else, and I don't feel like counterdrafting either.
Pack 1 pick 6:
My Pick:
I like Reckless Scholar in UB a lot more than I do in UW, in which I want my guys to be good for combat.
Pack 1 pick 7:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 8:
My Pick:
Bold Defense would be good to combine with Conqueror's Pledge, but I should be able to get one later, while Arrow Volley Trap is a card I could use as I'll be forcing races.
Pack 1 pick 9:
My Pick:
Pack 1 pick 10:
My Pick:
I didn't pay enough attention here. Because I've Conqueror's Pledge, I should be taking Seismic Shudder.

Pack 2 pick 1:
My Pick:
As my curve is quite low for now, I don't consider picking one of the early drops.
Pack 2 pick 2:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 3:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 4:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 5:
My Pick:
Most of my guys are White, and I guess I should end up running around 12 White guys plus Pledge, which is good enough to run this. If I had a little fewer, I would probably have chosen Kabira Crossroads.
Pack 2 pick 6:
My Pick:
Pack 2 pick 7:
My Pick:
With Sphinx, Pledge, and a pair of Hookmasters, my deck can adapt to both fast and slow games. It's my confidence in my deck's ability to win long-term games which push me to pick the 0/3 here. If I didn't already have a Sky Ruin Drake, I would most probably have taken it here.

Pack 3 pick 1:
My Pick:
I like Kor Sanctifiers a lot, and I was really close to picking it, mostly for a matter of curve. However, I still have good three-drops, and I like the flyer a little bit more.
