I had a choice between two cards during my last draft and wasn't sure if I made the right choice, so I'd like to get everyone's opinion. Pick One Pack One would you take Angelic Skirmisher  or Firemane Avenger  ? One was foil but I'm not saying which as the value outside of draft wasn't the point. Also thing about it as a redraft so you can't keep the card. I went with the Skirmisher and it worked out marvlously but I also really like the Avenger. Is it just a matter of taste? I like that one is only a four drop but it is two colors and less powerful.

It might jus' be the Timmy in me but picking through those options every combat step is sure fun.

If you're srs about this, I think avenger is better. Sometimes you just won't hit 6 mana.
I don't have an egosig because I'd rather my ideas be judged on their merits than on mine. Catpoints: Spoiler:

I'm confused, what do you mean "if you're srs about this"? I didn't take the time to ask which card to take if I wasn't serious. That being said I think Orzhov hits six land almost every time, but maybe Boros wins or loses sometimes without getting to six land. I think it's a tough call.

Avenger I like the best, even splashed in Orzhov. I've annihilated every opponent who played Angelic Skirmisher and haven't lost a match with a deck containing Firemane Avenger.

Tarnations! We must be at an impasse. Cause I have never won with the avenger and never lost with that there Skirmisher. Maybe they are both 5.0?

In my experience, Skirmisher is far better at turning a game around.

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters. More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it. Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.
