my reasoning was, rather than go for shock or get into a fight with green, i'd pick the reusable effect and see what happens from there. squad is splashable anyway...
some of the later picks got messed up because i left them time out, most notably pack 3 pick 1 :(. my choice was between condemn and glorious anthem. i ended up getting a lame blue card. i'm not sure my deck needed either of them but was trying to find whether or not anthem was worth anything.

Draft recording done by Blargware's MTGO DraftCap. Support Blargware!
pick 1 - second pick griffin is really strong, but blanchwood is a bomb in a heavy g deck. i know i passed some really nice green, but this is worth it and green should be deep enough. we'll see.
pick 8 - pacifism should not go pick 9.
it looks like white is definitely open. not so sure about anything else. i'm sure we're in the right color(s), though.
pick 14 - probably shouldn't have hated the phage, but i didn't have one. also, i didn't really sacrifice anything good.
pick 16 - at this point we only have blanchwood, sentinel, and two urges in green and could've gone into black for terror. i think juggernaut's strong enough, though.
pick 21 - normally i'd consider cloudchaser over griffin, but having pacifisms and heart of light trump it.
pick 30 - strider over climber is very close, but i wanted something with a larger butt for incinerate.
pick 31 - thank god for fatties
pick 32 - see pick 21
pick 33 - almost took mindstone before i remembered i was in white.
pick 34 - nice gift
won this draft, up to 1747.
