So welcome to the "New" Crack a Pack challenge. Going forward, I've got a few things that I want to do with the Cube, but for now, enjoy these three packs. PACK 1PACK 2PACK 3Assume that the packs are being passed from the right (meaning you will be passing your packs to your left). Your picks are based solely on YOU, meaning unlike in Crack-A-Packs past, you do not have to worry about what a poster has picked before you. Again if you so choose, please include a short reason as to why you're picking the way you do (certain archetypes you're trying to draft, best card out of the pack, et al...)

Pack 1: Carnophage- I really like this guy 1 mana for a 2/2 turn to beater on turn 2 pretty sweet. Pack 2: Porcelain Legionnaire- Again great early aggro 3/1 first striker Turn 3 beater. Pack 3: Serrated Arrows obvious choice great for killing those pesky 1/1 creatures that get in the way of beating your opponent's face to mush

Pack 1: I'm notorious for drafting agressive B/R decks in Cube. None of the Black removal currently available tempt me, though I would be fine taking Ashes to Ashes later if it came back. For now, I would pick Splatter Thug. It's a strong attacker, and he's easy on the mana. Plus he's a new card, and I would like to test him.
Pack 2: I'd take the Skirk Marauder. There's no Red in the pack, so it might be an opportunity to send some early signals. The Legionnaire is a stronger beater, and the Phyrexian Rager a better value card, but the Marauder is both versatile and effective. 6 mana for 2 damages is a lot, but in Pauper 2 damage can kill a lot of stuff. Just look at this pack! Short of the Riftwatcher, it kills everything!
Pack 3: Doom Blade, of course. Exactly what I want to see in a B/R aggro deck. I would be fine with the Arrows, but not as a third pick - not in this deck.
Fun concept Kris. I'm looking forward to more.

Thanks Grumpy.
I do like your picks by the way, not too different from Nate's but different enough.

1 - Ashes to Ashes- kind of obv, it is really good being a two for one and eventhough a lava axe is painful, its worth the extra card 2 - Exclude- I dont like going into a new color, but exclude is good enough 3- Serrated Arrows- more removal, moving me into an awsome control deck
