How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Gain life while trading or attacking with flyers, keeping the opponent under pressure from life-change rewards. Look for support such as Brightblade Stoat and Savor.
- What to take next
- Glidedive’s life gain enables Starseer’s end-step reward while adding another flyer.
- Wrong pick
- Starseer checks whether you gained or lost life this turn, not just whether your current life total is high.
- 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.
