Pack Analysis for 01Nov2012

Hey all, sorry for the delay in this analysis. Busy busy week and not a whole lot of analysis going on, as you'll soon see:

Commons:
Terrus Wurm
Chorus of Might
Electrickery
Paralyzing Grasp
Dramatic Rescue
Rakdos Shred-Freak
Sunspire Griffin
Azorius Guildgate
Korozda Monitor
Stab Wound

Uncommons:
Dark Revenant
Rites of Reaping
Fencing Ace

Rare:
Utvara Hellkite


Boom! Hellkite is a crystal clear snap pick. It is a bomb and a half. You do need to untap with it and successfully attack, but once that happens, you don't have to attack with the Hellkite again. A quick review of the set shows there are 2 other dragons which are rare (Hypersonic) and Mythic (Niv).

Now the double red commits you pretty hard to red and ramping up to 8 doesn't come easy in Red, Black, or Blue, so Keyrunes going forward are pretty valuable to you.

If the rare was a softer pick, Stab Wound and Dramatic rescue come to mind.

Looking at the overall sealed pool we're building, This deck is leaning even more towards Rakdos and Jund. It's got one of my favorite removal spells and a damn fine bomb.
