I want the gate, I really do, but we don't have a critical mass of populate yet. The Eyes have it(yes I know that's not how the saying goes).
Pack 1:
Supreme Verdict Call of the Conclave Eyes in the Skies Avenging Arrow Keening Apparition Centaur's Herald Sundering Growth Azorius Guildgate Concordia Pegasus Dramatic Rescue Mizzium Skin Dispel Ethereal Armor Drainpipe Vermin Pack 2: Call of the Conclave Hallowed Fountain Selesnya Charm Sunspire Griffin Hussar Patrol Armory Guard Druid's Deliverance Keening Apparition Trestle Troll Armory Guard Inspiration Chorus of Might Ethereal Armor Shrieking Affliction Pack 3: Trostani's Judgment Selesnya Charm Eyes in the Skies Azorius Guildgate Next... Risen Sanctuary Rakdos Ringleader Sluiceway Scorpion Cancel Stealer of Secrets Lobber Crew Deviant Glee Horncaller's Chant Runewing Selesnya Sentry 
Risen Sanctuary is surprisingly relevant. And very fat.
Well, we have a Sanctuary, stealer, chant, runewing and sentry as possible options. I think we can rule out the chant since I'd rather have the elemental, despite the populate options. However do we want to be running that high on the curve. We're also probably better off taking sentry over stealer, since we're white in both our off colors. That leaves the Sanc, sentry and the runewing. The runewing is slow, but cycles and offers air support whiche can be difficult in RtR. Kind of a toss up.
I'll go for the Sanctuary it's better costed and can be a finisher, or at least break a board stall or be something to stall into. 
I mean, the best cards in the pack are the crew and scorpion, and we don't have a B splash going on right now (and too bad, this deck would love a trestle troll). We don't have ramp so a 7-drop will be a pain.
Honestly, I think I want a vanilla 3/2 here. Sentry for me. Runewing is close for its CA, but I'd like something that trades with other centaurs.
Sanctuary. Last time I played Selesnya, I was dying for a creature that could get through 4 and 5 toughness creatures.
Sanctuary
I'd probably go with Runewing
We might not want it in every matchup, but the 8/8 is the card that is most likely to do something for us. Some decent percentage of the games in this set seem to go long.
I like Risen here as well. 8/8 + Vigilence can shut the majority of decks down and Selensya decks can generally last long enough to get to 7 mana (if they haven't won already by that time)
Also, Eyeuhnter, even your contained signature creates problems for my IE 8 browser.

Phantom General Dynacharge Stealer of Secrets Knightly Valor Trestle Troll Downsize Perilous Shadow Search Warrant Giant Growth
Even with as many tokens as we're trying to push out I'm not sure I want the General. Think I'd rather have the Knightly valor or the growth.
I'll go with the tried and tested Giant Growth
Growth, General, Valor, and probably to a lesser extent, Stealer, all seem legit here. Could be wrong, but I think I want the General.
I actually think the General is quite good here. While we don't have an over-abundance of tokens, that +/+ is incredibly relevant in the format. It gets centaurs to 4 p/t, which lets them eat other centaurs, as well as breaking through blockers with 4 toughness like indrik or troll without regen mana up. Also, getting the 1/1 birds to be 2/2 is very relevent and turns them into viable threats, rather than annoyances.
(Just did a count, we have 7 token generators, and there's a decent chance we get 1-2 more. that means half our creatur base can get pumped.)
I haven't tried it yet but my feeling is that Phantom General is the stones with tokens. Snap that up.
General. I hear 2-power fliers are a thing in, well, limited.
Everytime I've seen the general work he's been a game-changing bomb.
Late Phantom General makes me feel better about all those Eyes in the Skies.
I've never played with the General so let's go for that.

Psychic Spiral Izzet Staticaster Skull Rend Daggerdrome Imp Catacomb Slug Sundering Growth Chemister's Trick Seller of Songbirds
I GUESS we take seller, we already have a growth for the board and we MIGHT run into some playable-light packs. Also, birds get better in greater numbers.
I was going to say Sundering, but we already have 1 and that is as much as I want to maindeck. I think Seller is a decent pick here.
seller of songbirds is better when it churns out 2/2s i suppose.
Sundering Growth. I did all Selesnya at the prerelease, and I found that Seller is an underwhelming ground body with a Scryb Sprites stuck on. There are enough bomb enchantments (and solid artifacts, like the keyrunes) that I'd rather have two Disenchants that also populate.

Dark Revenant Dispel Ethereal Armor Sundering Growth Chemister's Trick Deviant Glee Grisly Salvage Sorry for the late update.
Ah good, the previous pick has been vindicated and we can take the second Sundering Growth here.
Eh, it's Sundering Growth #2 or Ethereal armor
Either is fine really, we're on the populate plan and having a decent sideboard ain't so bad. Sundering Growth
Ethereal Armor. First strike is very nice in this set, and as folks noted last pick we already have a Sundering Growth.

Things we're really hectic today. Updates at normal time tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Swift Justice Cobblebrute Izzet Guildgate Stonefare Crocodile Trestle Troll
I was thinking Swift Justice at first, but I always end up cutting that card from my actual decks. Not sure if anything else fits though.
Swift Justice would be cut from this deck. Troll is a good hate-draft.
i feel as though swift justice is one of the best combat tricks we've seen for some time, but trestle troll is just such a good card and should not still be here.
