I started out white and saw that red was fairly open. Searing Spear at pick 4, without much else in white, was worth moving towards. I also grabbed the stupidly late Rancor (the AI needs to rate that card more highly) and Farseek to see about splashing in green. Of course, I don't see anything in the second pack, but third pack, I get a pick 3 Thragtusk and another Farseek. As much as I don't like splashing for fixing, they help accelerate into the twin Avatars. Third pack in general was just nuts.

Pretty silly draft. Don't think I would have got all those searing spears in a real draft. So I went back and did it again having noted the riduclous amount of white lifegain creatures, and the two avatars, and put together this:

1 x Arctic Aven
2 x Welkin Tern
2 x Serra Avatar
1 x Battleflight Eagle

From Mark Rosewater's Tumblr:

the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play?

I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature.
