Ravnica Rotisserie Draft Pick Orders

I had the opportunity to Rotisserie Draft Ravnica yesterday. It was really fun and I would recommend it to anyone with a complete set of Rav available. I don't know how many times you could draft a whole set like that before it became rote, though. Anyway, I managed to record the first 8 or so picks for all eight drafters. After that the picks became too fast to record. I make no assertions that these are "correct" pick orders, but at least people can see them and judge for themselves. Caleb, who was in Seat 7, decimated the competition with his mill strategy, not dropping a single game. This is interesting since it was Dale's Glare of Subdual tokens deck, in Seat 1 that was the favorite going into the draft (though it did go 2-1). I was in Seat 5.

Seat 1: Pick 1 Glare of Subdaual, 2 Selesnya Guildmage, 3 Vinleasher Kudzu, 4 Watchwolf, 5 Char, 6 Privileged Position, 7 Doubling Season, 8 Hour of Reckoning, 9 Selesnya Evangel

Seat 2: Pick 1 Disembowel, 2 Dimir Guildmage, 3 Vedalken Dismisser, 4 Ribbons of Night, 5 Mausoleum Turnkey, 6 Helldozer, 7 Cerulean Sphinx, 8 Mindleech Mass

Seat 3: Pick 1 Firemane Angel, 2 Boros Signet, 3 Golgari Signet, 4 Brightflame, 5 Devouring Light, 6 Sunhome Enforcer, 7 Auratouched Mage, 8 Razia's Purifiaction

Seat 4: Pick 1 Civic Wafinder, 2 Loxodon Hierarch, 3 Tolsimir Wolfblood, 4 Blazing Archon, 5 Seed of Strength, 6 Seed Spark, 7 Razia Boros Archangel, 8 Selesnya Sagittars

Seat 5: Pick 1 Sunforger, 2 Lightning Helix, 3 Faith's Fetters, 4 Skyshroud Legionnaire, 5 Flame Fusillade, 6 Rally the Righteous, 7 Galvanic Arc, 8 Viashino Fangtail, 9 Flamekin Zealot

Seat 6: Pick 1 Dream Leash, 2 Hex, 3 Gleancrawler, 4 Keening Banshee, 5 Moroii, 6 Brainspoil, 7 Spectral Force, 8 Graveshell Scarab 9 Carven Caryatid

Seat 7: Pick 1 Circu, Dimir Lobotomist, 2 Szadek, Lord of Secrets, 3 Glimpse of the Unthinkable, 4 Belltower Sphinx, 5 Mark of Eviction, 6 Remand, 7 Compulsive Research, 8 Vedalken Entrancer, 9 Twisted Justice

Seat 8: Pick 1 Plague Boiler, 2 Moldervine Cloak, 3 Putrefy, 4 Last Gasp, 5 Golgari Grave Troll, 6 Siege Wurm, 7 Necroplasm, 8 Scatter the Seeds, 9 Golgari Rotwurm, Vulturous Zombie
