Definately Executioners. You could get lucky and wind up being able to draw eviscerate, which would be an extreme advantage. Executioner's is a staple in every axe build as well, you wouldn't want any team having that skill but yourself.

Maybe it is an odd choice but I would say Spirit of Failure.

Thom Bangalter · Nov 08, 2006, 08:49 AM // 08:49

I don't think it's that odd a choice, because hex removal is so rare in drafted. In fact, I don't think we've seen any hex removal thus far. If nothing else, it can be used as energy management for your monk. (hey, it's sealed)

My choice would probably be distracting blow though, because you've already drafted executioner's. That, or flurry, because you can't go wrong with an IAS, especially when the pack is so unspectacular.

My first choice would probably be Distracting too; it's nice to have an interrupt.

Hex removal IS rare in drafted, which makes Spirit of Failure nice, but you already have monk emanagement (SoD) so the only thing you're doing is shutting down enemy warriors etc, and tbh in drafted its rare that a warrior is doing enough damage that 1 hit in 4 is horrible for him.

LightningHell · Nov 08, 2006, 11:23 AM // 11:23

Well, all the spectacular cards probably got snatched already.

I vote for Distracting.

TheOneMephisto · Nov 08, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Distracting all the way.

I've been waiting for a new pack...

Initially I'd consider Bull's charge, because KD is powerful. However, based on the past few packs I've seen, the guy passing you these packs is not drafting many warrior skills, since you've had executioner's and distracting blow come your way. Unless he's getting nonstop eviscerates or something, you can expect to get quite a few more warrior skills. Possibly elites. This would make me want to bring wild blow....stances are kind of rare though, and the lose all adrenaline part hurts, but it's worth taking. Unless you want to draft more monk cards, in which case I guess go divine intervention.

I'd probably wind up taking Bull's charge because speed buff+KD is awesome.

around · Nov 09, 2006, 11:09 AM // 11:09

There's only one choice really. Wild Blow may be nice as a spike skill, but Bull's Charge is speed buff+KD in one tasty package.

Bull's Charge all the way.

Sertu · Nov 09, 2006, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Pasifism since ur opponent is watching u draw mele skills he's bound to take pasifism to hurt u. I'd pick that. U dont want ur opponent to have hate against u. More stances will come ur way if u think u need them. From magic experience, i know your own build is important but nearly as important is making sure ur opponents dont get any hate against ur build.

Thom · Nov 09, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Divine Intervention is priceless on a monk who knows how to use it. Maybe I'm the only one who'd pass on orison and pick up DI.

Bulls Charge is an interesting choice, just hope Eviserate doesn't come up.

Guillaume De Sonoma · Nov 10, 2006, 01:49 AM // 01:49

You can always run two warriors, Bull's imo.

Sai Rith · Nov 10, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

I like IWAY it is the best warrior skill ever!!! Jking, but Bull's Charge is ftw. It would be better if it didn't end when you used a skill though.....

LightningHell · Nov 10, 2006, 08:05 AM // 08:05

I'd pick either Bull's or Divine.

EDIT:

Guillaume De Sonoma · Nov 10, 2006, 08:23 AM // 08:23

I guess Divine because of the lack of other skills, after that Antidote Signet.

Thom Bangalter · Nov 10, 2006, 08:25 AM // 08:25

If you picked bull's, you win, because now's an oppurtunity to take divine intervention again. Though I secretly want to take antidote signet, but it's not like there's a ton of reliable blind going around in sealed.

around · Nov 10, 2006, 11:08 AM // 11:08

Divine Intervention, because everything else sucks (with the possible exception of Stolen Speed).
