A nice pool with a lot of power cards, many choices and lots of mana fixers. I could even play 5 color deck but I thought I could also go smooth and simple. A pure Rakdos deck is my choice here. A bit of gamble but 2 Deviant Glees and 2 Imps drove me to this deck. I think it is not the best deck that would come out of this pool but sealed decks tend to be a little slower than draft decks so I would try my chance. Also Azorius based flier-control deck is a nice option

With so many guildgates/promenades it's too tempting to go a fairly slow 4-color deck. Would need to draw half the deck to get the 3rd white mana for the angel, so not sure if it's really worth it, but the white cards were really quite bad apart from her and martial law. Detention sphere, lyev and skymarc roc are however too powerful to turn down. Might be better to play 3 islands/3 plains or go up to 19 mana. Would need to see how it played out really. Total Deck Size: 40
Ahh, I'm so greedy. I couldn't resist playing all 5 colors. I saw that a lot of the creatures had awesome stats, so I decided to bunch in a lot of removal, followed by Enchantments that would help power up Etheral Armor Total Deck Size: 40
Sweet, fun pool with LOTS of color fixing. Went for Junk bombs.

Went with a Radkos deck with a splash of green. I don't have a ton of deckbuilding experience, but this seemed the most straightforward to me.

Hmm, this was a tough one. I don't really like my mana curve. I think I got greedy with Lyev, Skymark, Detention and Dramatic resuce. Probably should have ditched blue and gone with an Golgari splash white deck, but this looked solid and fun. I would have loved to Have some gobbos and cast epic experiment though! I left out some Promenade's cause they are just slow, although I needed to include at least one. If I had to change something, I'd switch out a Tower Drake for another swamp.

I'm more comfortable with this one. I think it will be more consistent than my last deck.

Went 5 Color and Enchantment Heavy. Azorious Base and then splashed Red and Black for Removal, and Green to fill out the creature curve.

I messed around really, Enchantments, flyers and 4 colours to get there. Realistically I'd thin this to three colours (WUB?), drop the angel except for the SB games against stalling opponents and play the quality game. All three promenades in 40 cards is usually a mistake too, they can be speed bumps - especially with all the good cheap cards on offer.

Couldn't help it. Went four colors.

I splashed black for the extra enchants to pump ethereal armor. I believe this card wins a lot of games in limited, if there's a huge support of enchants, as there were in these packs. 7 enchants total. Let me know if you would've done something different.

Hardest thing about this build was what to add in what color, I could see adding the Auger Spree

I went a slightly different route, it seems ok, but the pool I probably should have been more greedy with all of the fixing.

Even with the fixing. I didn't find black desirable enough. Most of the pool is small creatures, so I dipped into green and made horn caller's chant my bomb. The splash is light (3 spells) but each spell gives something the deck needs, and the keyrune brings me to 13 creatures. Death touch is really nice when you're removal light. So the deck will not run into manascrew too much and only 2 lands must CitP tapped so I don't sacrifice tempo either.
Definitely what I would play. Spoiler: Show This Deck was built in 1:42:45 Total Deck Size: 40

Couldn't see playing the angel with so few other good white cards and the black pool was deep so....

I ended up going Bant (WUG), with a Black splash for extra power in the late game (Ogre Jailbreaker and Golgari Longlegs). I tried to build it where a given player can alternate between aggro and control. I went a little high on the lands for the sake of color-specific mana requirements as well as throwing out a sizeable Slime Molding finisher. Total Deck Size: 40
I also noticed that a BUG mill deck was possible. Chronic Flooding yourself and stay alive until mid-game. Psychic Spiral for game or close.

Not real happy with this group. It seems like it pulls in different directions, but no one way really looks strong.
I ended up with this W/g/u deck.

If I can get something hexproof out with a nice pump on it, that could also work, but no way to make it trample. Still it isn't the worst I have seen. I really with I could have abused the triple Goblin Electromancer
I'd name this deck,

I felt that Bant had the strongest cards by some way, albeit the manafixing meant you could get greedy.
