Wound up with the option for a green splash anyway, since I grabbed some Spiders to keep my opponents' air defenses low, but I don't think I need them. P2p2 Hail of Arrows was just what I wanted, and opening a second Hail in P3 resulted in a virtual windmill slam; grabbing a Ballista Squad three picks later triggered a happy dance.

BizarroBike Posts: 218 Date Joined: 08/16/07	the only reasonable cards in the first pack are Skyhunter Patrol, Hurricane and Nantuko Husk. i usually won't play black in Xth unless i open removal and first picking Hurricane doesn't seem like the best course of action. i ended up going G/W anyway, but i have a fair number of fliers, so Hurricane wouldn't make much sense.

Started out rough, but that 4th pick Phantom Warrior was a good signal for me. Afterwards, I checked the top 3 cards of everyone else at the table... one of the two other blue players got dubs Persuasion... lucky SoB.
