It's been a while, but I used to just pick the best card for the first 3-5 cards, regardless of color, and then decide what color I should be based on what I got and what I get passed.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Black has great removal. White is still strong. Green is better but still is pretty weak. Blue red have interesting options.

Most agro colors are devoid red black or allies red white.

Yeah, it's not as though Fetchlands are important to decks.

Yeah, because a person only ever builds one deck. That's super logical, Shea.

I would have held the Misty personally, but Wastelands are certainly not a bad choice. Especially if you need them for a Legacy deck or something.

Grats, lucksack.

Eye of Ugin is not surviving to another Modern PT. The question is how long it takes.

Based on PT Oath of the Gatewatch. It's completely breaking everything. There are like 3 different Modern decks playing the same shell and Eye is allowing busted stuff to happen like casual turn 2 4/4s or two turn 1 2/1s that turn into attacking 4/4s on turn 2 and 5/5s on turn 3

10 of the decks currently in the top 16 (going into round 16) are this eldrazi deck.

It's had like a 75% win rate, which is deceptive since, as there are so many people playing it at the top tables, most of those losses are the mirror match.

It has just ripped modern in half.

The UR guys who are playing a draft deck with better lands are something like 90% win rate with the deck, and I think their only losses are to other Eldrazi decks.
