this is the most interesting and complicated pool I have ever got in Zendikar sealed. This would be fun to toy with since there are so many options I could go - but unfortunately this happened in a big event so I could do much with the time I had. Now post what you think is the optimal build from this pool. I believe this will help us all in this format. Ill post my build later on

GWU landfall allies!

WR landfall.....u get the most of your removals this way.

Thought about Green for a second due to the decent 2-drops, but i don't think it's deep enough to risk the manabase.

nissa's chosen is GG and would be very hard to cast early, and you have enough 2-drops in WR. that leaves the 2x oran-rif survivalist, which is not enough to be my sole reason to delve into green.

a real shame that u didn't get tattering peaks to go with such aggro-tempo minded deck.
the only downside of this strategy would be its proneness to Marsh Casualties.

[taufikthenewbie]

going with maxi on this one: WR aggro.
Here's my build:

lands:
1 kabira crossroads
1 soaring seacliff
8 plains
8 mountain

creatures (15):
2 steppe lynx
1 goblin bushwhacker
1 highland berserker
1 ondu cleric
1 plated geopede
1 kor aeronaut
1 kabira evangel
3 kor sanctifiers
1 shatterskull giant
1 geyser glider
2 tuktuk grunts

other spells (7):
1 trusty machete
1 burst lightning
2 journey to nowhere
1 pitfall trap
1 slaughter cry
1 spire barrage

I know spire barrage doesn't sound too sexy with only 8 mountains, but 2-3 damage is usually enough reach for this deck.

[bushh]

yeah it should be RW, agreed. but what about black ? it has 3 giant scorpion, disfigure, and the best creature in the format :D, green also has 2 oran rief survivalist & 2 harrows, which goes well with the mini ally theme.

i went with 5c allies :( thought i can pull it off with the harrows, but yeah i wasnt just thinking clear that time. went 2-3 drop.

[taufikthenewbie]

the problem with black is not enough playables, and top-heavy creature curve (what i mean by top-heavy is essentially no 2-drops).

[Scharazade]

Here's my take on the pool

2 Journey to Nowhere
1 Day of Judgement
1 Pitfall Trap
1 Trusty Machete
1 Adventuring Gear

2 Oran Rief Survivalist
2 Harrow
1 Nissa's Chosen
1 Welkin Tern
2 Merfolk Wayfinder
1 Kabira Evangel
1 Umara Raptor
1 Kor Sanctifiers
1 Reckles Scolar
1 Windrider Eel
1 Skyruin Drake
1 Seascape Aeralist
1 Teritorial Baloth
1 Cobra Trap

1 Graypelt Refugee
1 Kabira Crossroad
6 Forest
5 Island
4 Plains

[Scharazade]

imo, DoJ is the best card you can open in a sealed deck, and draft if that matters, and not playing with it is just plain wrong
