Pack 3 pick 3:
Mire Blight
Sunspring Expedition
Joraga Bard
Plated Geopede
Grim Discovery
Hagra Diabolist
Shoal Serpent
Slaughter Cry
Kor Hookmaster
Trapmaker's Snare
--> Hellkite Charger
Soaring Seacliff
Mountain

i see no reason why this made it to pick 3. you HATE THIS CARD OUT. I KNOW...RED IS OPEN...BUT MAN. Won 2 games of my draft (which i won) by that card alone.

there is no reason to ever hate draft its pointless unless there is 0 playables for you. and hellkite charger isnt even that big of a bomb considering how fast the formar can be.

Uncommon missing was probably Marsh Casualties or Vampire Nighthawk. And maybe someone picked up a journey to nowhere after that.

It's just a strong pack, but there are def cards I'd pick over the dragon

2 Uncommons are missing.
Vampire Nighthawk and Living Tsunami probably, or Machete.
If I am not red (and cant splash it at that point), I easily pick those over a hatepick.

Huh, snare and diabolist are both uncommon, right?

Am I the only person who noticed that this is pack 3? If I am in black/green or something, disfigure over charger, hell gladeheart over charger is the right pick. Hatedrafting is stupid.

Yep a million good reasons for charger pick 3 pack 3, such as one neigbour is UW other BG or any combination of colours not including red. Or they took nighthawk or marsh casulties or something just better than the charger or the red person opened a foil mythic and there was a good card in the other dudes colour that he really needed.

I've passed a hellkite charger....... its not that good in red on turn 7 unless your slow as shit, that same draft i went mono red and won turn 4 every game 5-0.

It is fine pack 3 if you already have a really good deck and just do not want to get bombed out. Perfectly reasonable to spend all of pack 3 just strengthing the deck with clearly more powerfull picks and passing mid level cards your not going to play in favour of a hate draft.

But there come a point when you know I already have 22 playables and there all as good or better than the card i can pick and im playing this draft to win, my deck is made this card does not improve its just more of the same, so the best choice is to hate draft. No point in having a sideboard of mediocre playables, your never going to bring in.
