Foil Tarmogoyf vs Burst Lightning

Imagine, that you are drafting Modern Masters 2015 and you are going Boros (WR colors). You cracked a booster pack number two and you see a foil Tarmogoyf. To make it more complicated let's add one more condition. You are drafting in top8 of the largest Magic tournament ever. Would you have picked a money card, which is off your colors, or rather sticked to your strategy and choose in this case Burst Lightning to give yourself the best odds to play in the world championship?

This has already happened during the GP Vegas. Pascal Maynard was on the horns of a dilemma and eventually picked the foil Tarmogoyf. Shortly after Magic community accused him of rare drafting. After all, Pascal Marynard admitted that he missplayed and put up the foil Goyf on e-bay, pledging to donate half of the final sale price to Gamers Helping Gamers. Auction has already finished and the winning bid reached 14 900 USD!
