How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- A four-power attacker, not only ramp.
- What to take next
- Use mana creatures and earthbending to reach big attackers. Bitter Work draws when you attack with power four or more; protect an attacker so that advantage repeats.
- Wrong pick
- Too many mana cards and no threat leaves you drawing air; a tapped land cannot also attack.
- Mana & splash
- A two-color support card is usually a reason to play both colors, not a reason to stretch a third-color mana base.

Observational, not a causal bonus. Both cards must be in the deck. Drawn means opening hand or normally drawn; each card counts once per game. Game-level approximate intervals do not account for repeated games by the same drafter.
At least 100 games in each of four drawn/not-drawn groups; adjusted for game length and screened by the lower confidence bound. Do not add these points to a card’s win rate.
