Twins are TERRIBLE. I played with them and never wanted them for a moment. Grave Exchange is better bang for 6 mana.
Seraph of Dawn is the objectivley best card in this pack. If we want to do this black thing, Soulcage Fiend is amazing for us, having a 3-power body at 3 mana, with a usually beneficial ability. Aside from removal, Soulcages are, along with marrow bats and drivers, the sort of thing we need to make a black deck actually work.
I'm happy with either of the two, though I must say I'm partial to Mad's plan of nabbing the seraph and seeing if the black (especially the soulcage) wheels.

I was just about to write what Tevish said. If a black card is to be picked from this pack, it should be Soulcage Fiend. If not, it should be Seraph. Personally I would like to draft an AVR deck with Seraph.

Seraph of Dawn  Pretty much for MadAdmiral's reasons. If the Soulcage Fiend  wheels then that's a great sign and we can go all-out mono black (or close to it), otherwise let's see what the next couple of picks give us and go from there.

I'm fine with Serpah, but I think you are seriously underestimating a 4/4 that drops 2 bears on death. Trade twins with something -> Barter in Blood or Bonesplitters (or just throw on a trident).
Sucks that it's six, but it is still a good card.

I generally like to stick to best card in the pack for the first few picks unless I'm trying to force something. Pretty much following the Admiral's reasoning I like Seraph here and seeing if we get passed any of the black removal that would make us want to go heavy black.

Seraph.
It's worth it.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

Vessel is fixing, and fixing at 3 mana. 9 times out of ten, it's worse than a Signet. It shouldn't be going higher than 4th pick and should probably go somewhere in the 5-8 range in general unless a pack is psychotically weak. When this has Seraph and Soulcage, it is not that kind of weak.
