Then he probably doesn't get passed all that hotness in pack 2. The problem with passing the Warlord is that it would have put someone into red for at least a splash.

P2 p3 most likely would have taken molten ravager as they are very good with claws of valakut P2 p8 Highland Berserker over shortcutter I assume this is what you are talking about. you have 1 playable ally at this point...

Passing up the first Machete pack 1 pick 2 for a Kazuul Warlord was somewhat surprising to me as Kazuul Warlord didn't even make the deck. Trusty Machete is amazing AND can find a home in any deck, which both are assets I always gun for during my first pack. However, taking Kazuul Warlord and aggressively drafting red for the rest of the draft kept many of the players out of red, thus creating the amazing red deck you see here, even if Kazuul didn't make the deck. My draft community doesn't follow color signals that well though, so in my case I'd have ended up picking the Machete anyways... I actually thought the sight of 2 Trusty Machete was sweeter.

Your opponents will have to race you by dumping creatures onto the board, and thus you can almost treat Hellfire Mongrel like another enchantment based source of damage.
