I know I'm in the minority here, but I would have taken Magistrate over the Ending. It's close to a bomb, and I like cementing a preferred tribe down early if possible.
You're missing pack one where he clearly picked Dread, cementing him strongly in Black (unless it gets completely cut) but not anywhere else. Given that I like Ending a fair bit; Magistrate's a totally defensible pick, though.
The one I don't care for here is the Hornet Harrasser 3rd (out of the pack labelled 2nd); that guy tables so often that grabbing him this early can't be right. The pack isn't by any means great, but I think Cloudcrown Oak (to start dipping into a second color) and Skeletal Changeling are both better options. In particular, if you don't know that your deck is going to settle down (as this one never quite did) then the Changelings -- even mediocre ones like Skeletal -- are that much more important.
