For the first 3-5 picks you usually want to pick the best card in the pack. If the cards are close, pick the ones that are same/synergize with existing picks. Also give priority to cards that are a single color requirement (over double colored/multicolored).
Mid-late pack 1, I will grab anything that is a high-value card going super late (something like a 7th pick torch), since it might be a signal that color will be wide open in pack 3.
If you open a bomb in pack 2, you can usually pivot into that color. Obviously depends on what you've already picked up.
Basically keep your options open packs 1-2 (but try to focus on a color pair), then try to commit solely to that for packs 3-4.
