How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Develop cheap eerie rewards, then cast enchantment creatures and efficient Rooms that add bodies, counters and tempo while keeping attacks moving.
- What to take next
- Play Gremlin Tamer or Optimistic Scavenger before casting Grand Entryway. The Room enters as an enchantment, then its unlock trigger creates a separate Glimmer enchantment creature for another eerie event.
- Wrong pick
- Eerie rewards enchantment entry and fully unlocking a Room, not every partial unlock. Inquisitive Glimmer removes generic costs only, so retain the colored mana for each door.
- Mana & splash
- Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

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.
