I looked at Green last, as I was prepared for Green to finally not be the best color in a set. As per usual, my prep was wrong. Full disclaimer, Green is my favorite color in general, but in this set, it once again feels far and away superior to the other colors.

I would say that the second best color of the set is almost neck and neck between White and Black. Red doesn't fall far behind the two, but Blue, also per usual lately, seems to be extremely weak, roughly half a letter grade worse than average.

On a synergy scale of Bloomburrow to Outlaws of Thunder Junction, this falls in the middle leaning towards Bloomburrow. Synergy matters, a lot, but efficient deck building with raw power will matter also and make up the difference in trophy drafts.

Color pairs I'm excited to draft are Golgari, Selesnya, Orzhov, Gruul, and Boros. I think that despite Blue's weakness, Simic could be a great pair when open.
