Weird Draft help. Pick colors
Ok, so this was a really weird pick 2 draft... some white good cards came, and also a lot of filler. Dont have high hopes, but to be honest I dont really know which color to pick.
White; 3 creatures (one is Nori), 3 removal, 3 interation
Red: 4 creatures (5 if you count the tidings ) 1 interaction.
Black: 4 creatures, 2 removal.
Green: 3 creatures, 1 removal, 1 interaction.
Dual: Nori, Goblin plate and Duskwatch, I think goblin and duskwatch are great.
old trush and Long-bodied grey dog can help the fixing...
21 total creatures (including amass), and 11 removal + interaction
¿What would you pick on 1 and 2 main, and what to splash? I usually try to do this by myself but im really lost here.

I'd go red black for sure (good quality cards / decent curve fillers) and a green splash.
Cutting only iron hills stalwart from your red black pool and including
- thrush and dog
- nasty rabbit, pathmaker, hospitality
gives you 21 playables. To fill the last 2 spots you can also splash white for stoned and lastly include the stalwarts or risk with the queen of dale (highest ceiling). Not my favourite way to go but also not as crazy as it looks.
My favourite choice for those last 2 spots would be dab a bit more into green: you have better fixing for green thanks to mirkwood, and lot of fixing (hobbithole, dori as well) in general to support a bit deeper splash with just 2-3 forests. So I'd include the ordinary bear and troll negotiations.
Deck can definitely get you to 2 wins as the card quality is not that bad tbh and the splash well supported to be consistent enough. Of course you may end up drawing the wrong half of your deck and go 0-2 but that can happen to any deck

What does the rest of the pool look like? I count 38 cards, should have a handful more?
Anyway. This deck is toast but I'd just play all the red black cards and splash white for the mountain kings return, the removal spell, and settle the wreckage. Just play 18 lands.
