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.

How to read this

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.
