In challengers, I am usually forced to pick the least bad option. For a change, in a game yesterday, I was presented with multiple great options, and would like this opportunity to share my logic and compare it with others.
The attached screenshot contains my choice before match #6, in a 4-player game. I am the underdog only winning games 2 & 3

The options I see (redraw does not seem worth it)
A) pick 2 dogs
B) pick 1 mascot + 1 dogs
C) pick 2 UFO
A) gives me +6 total power to the deck
B) gives me +7 total power (mascot is about 4 on average with 4 types of cards already in the deck)
C) UFO is great, I'd value the first one at ~6, but the second one is just 3, as I am not using the extra cards anyway. 6+3 in value, plus 1-2 extra because of band, minus 3 because I have to cut dog from the deck. Total 7-8 power boost
I ended up with option (D) - one mascot and one ufo, cutting dog. Would love to hear your opinion and debate the logic I used.
