Alash: Again, Claws can be great in an aggressive deck but it just opens up the possibility of having effective mulligans in my hand when I drew a Makindi Shieldmate and some Tuk Tuk Grunts as my only creatures. People often consider the best possible situation when evaluting cards, eg "it turns a 1/1 into a monster and its hardly a 2 for 1 if they kill it as it was just a 1/1", but you also have to consider when the card is bad: in this case a lot of the time
@efrate: that might be the best pick, but I don't like having to put too much unnecessary strain on my manabase when I can avoid it. That one's mainly down to draft style, and I wouldn't criticise anybody for taking the 2-drop over Join the Ranks
