Avacyn Restored, First picks, First packs

New format, new exercise!

How is it looking from the point of view of someone who haven't drafted yet?

I'd say there's 3 big archetypes:
- Spoiler control
- Ux tempo
- aggro

Spoiler control is when you open bombs and want to play them, there's many 0/4 wall flying and life gaining creatures you're going to want to play before the bomb hit the table and win the game.

Ux tempo is aggro with 2/2 fly bounce, double bounce for 3U, unblocable this turn, blink etc...

Aggro manifest itself as either rg or wr they are aggro with synergies for the rw (humain strategies) and just fatties when you're gx.

Black seems downright bad but certainly has a place to be somewhere as a splash for creature killing spells.

Let's open some pack and you'll tell me what would you first 3 picks be. (This is more interresting than juste first pick because this way you have the opportunity to think about the pack even there is a card that is just an absolute first pick)

Pack 1:


Pack 2:


Pack 3:


Pack 4:


Pack 5:
