I pick Vithian Stinger and Blood Cultist very high just for decks with all that 1-toughness stuff. Jund Charm is very difficult to pass, and Infest is, too, although being double black and a sorcery, its not nearly as good.
After going 7-1-1 on day 1 of the GP, my record in Shards limited wearing my Hard Rock Rome shirt is now 11-1-2, in 2 events. I think the format is all about what you wear.
Seriously, though, Ive done very well with red-based decks in this format, in both sealed and draft, including Naya, Jund, Grixus, and 4 & 5-color,
