So I turned on the pick recorder just after P1p1, realizign it wasn't on, I had taken a Restoration Angel Pick one, and wasn't expecting anything good to table.
Pack 1 pick 2:














Not excited about this pack at all. The right pick was likely the Goldnight Redeemer. I haven't played with it much, but in retrospect likely correct. I didn't even play the revolt, and I felt like it was a worthless pick when I made it. Just a gamble in a loose pack, and didn't pay off. Something could be said for the twins also. I'm happy to have them in a slow Mono-B deck, but basically no where else, so I decided to support the Angel and hope to end up in R/W with the ability to abuse her blink with something awesome.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 3:













This didn't seem tough, but maybe i'm wrong. The 2/3 for 3 is fine, as are both of the green 2 drops. If I had taken the twins pick 2, I'd have a human frailty here to go with it.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 4:












Ding. Perfect card. If I had taken Black, I"d now have the Connoisseur.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 5:











I've lost to lots of Archangels, i've also died with them in my hand. I'd rather have the cheap human. Still not confident that is correct, however. (Black deck gets another Bloodflow Connoisseur)
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 6:










Easy choice (and yes, i'd take the tomb here in the black deck too)
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 7:









Here's where the black deck would have been getting better, the Creeeper is solid. I probably should have taken the equipment? My friends have been telling me to give this one drop a shot, so i did. Not a big fan. My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 8:








meh...
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 9:







hope i dont have to run it (spoiler: i did)
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 10:






My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 11:





Wow, gift.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 12:




Ive actually boarded this card in several matchups, and its more relevant that I expected.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 13:



Dont forget this exists, by the way. Very unlikely, but had a lethal dreadwaters countered by it in a Game 3 once early on in the format. Good sideboarding by my opponent.
My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 14:


My Pick:

Pack 1 pick 15:

My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 1:















Sure.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 2:














easy choice, again black deck gets even better here, but who knows by now what my neighbors would have done.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 3:













oh man... really wishing i was in black now... too late, cathar is fine, but nothing good coming back from this pack :(
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 4:












Potentiall playable :/ (hating my life for not playing black)
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 5:











Fine addition, again, no other good choices here... (creeper)
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 6:










Been mostly unhappy with this card, i'm basically pissed I'm not in black at this point (butcher ghoul) My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 7:









at this point, my draft is obviously a trainwreck... i want to try out this rare. (news flash, it blows)
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 8:








Maybe i'm the one who's wrong, but this card is pretty damned good.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 9:







fine sb card, but my deck is lackign in the maindeck area.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 10:






when in doubt, hate the potential blowout.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 11:





marginal card, but my deck will probably need some of those.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 12:




you could possibly board this in, but again, i really fucking hope not.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 13:



Hate the card that does something instead of the card that does nothing.
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 14:


sweet!
My Pick:

Pack 2 pick 15:

My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 1:















Boom. Luckily i'm opening well, beacause reading signals and drafting strength just isn't working for me today. A note about the Tyrant, he's kinda bonkers, but I sort of had myself convinced my deck was r/w aggro. it was really just r/w sucky. Eitehr way I think I chose right here, but wanted to at least mention this dude in a slower or ramp deck My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 2:














pretty easy choice...
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 3:













bats woulda been nice... yeah yeah yeah....
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 4:












woah... snap take.
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 5:











my deck could use more dudes, not this, its fine, but my deck just simply isn't functional at this point.
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 6:










Step in the right direction... but, too little, too late...
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 7:









D'd up.
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 8:








Why, thank you!
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 9:







realizing i have no good reason to play revolt, i just start trying to derail everyone around me... My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 10:






literally might need this? oh man i hope not...
My Pick:

Pack 3 pick 11:





My Pick:

well its better than uncanny speed... kinda.
Pack 3 pick 12:




My Pick:

again, if i had creatures this card is fine... but...
Pack 3 pick 13:



My Pick:

meh.
Pack 3 pick 14:
