I have a Fat Pack, and these packs need to be cracked.  I think I'll do one, post the contents of the pack, and ask everyone what they'd take and why, or at least narrow it down a little bit.  Once the discussion simmers down, maybe I'll do the next one.  Maybe if the rare is an obvious slam, say what you would take out of the non-rare options as well.  I hope people find this useful.

Let's start with the first pack.  Vizkopa Guildmage is on the cover.  Here are the contents

Warmind Infantry
Scatter Arc
Smite
Crocanura
Kingpin's Pet
Shambleshark
Riot Gear
Keymaster Rogue
Horror of the Dim
Guildscorn Ward

and on to the uncommons

Arrows of Justice
Thrull Parasite
Simic Keyrune

and the rare

Biovisionary

So what do you take?

Thanks for your input everyone!

I would take Arrows of Justice here too.  Can be Boros, Gruul or Orzhov and four damage seems good.  I'd like to try an Orzhov deck with lots of Kingpin's Pet s though some time too.

Cheers

Are we to assume that this is a 3 pack draft?  Or just picking what we see to be powerful?  I'm not clear on the intent.

If its a draft, then I'd have to agree with arrows, as its playable in 3 of the 5 guilds, and an easy splash in all.

If we're talking about overall picks in a vaccumn, then I actually like the kingpin.  3cc for a 2/2 flyer is solid in limited, and with a potent ability added, he's an awesome beater.   

Intent is that you are sitting down (or logging in?) for a normal draft, this is what you open in your first pick, so what do you take?

I would take the arrows as well. It is one of the best removal cards in the set and is playable in every guild with a small splash when off color.
