How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Keep a small number of useful creatures on the board and use spells to both interact and increase their damage. Look for support such as Daring Waverider and Take Out the Trash.
- What to take next
- Waverider reuses a small instant or sorcery; casting that spell can trigger Mentor’s prowess even though no mana was paid.
- Wrong pick
- Too many creatures starve your spell payoffs, but too few leave you unable to attack. Harnesser’s permission expires at end of turn.
- Mana & splash
- Count the colored sources needed to cast this card on time; a synergy payoff is not a reason to weaken an otherwise consistent 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.
