How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Mix flyers with useful ground creatures; Birds improve the creatures that cannot fly while air attacks finish the game. Look for support such as Intrepid Rabbit and Pileated Provisioner.
- What to take next
- Rabbit and its offspring give Mentor ground targets for counters. Later flying creatures keep adding counters to those targets.
- Wrong pick
- An all-flying board leaves Mentor without a legal counter target. Include ground creatures that still matter when drawn late.
- 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.
