How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Use manifest dread to develop bodies and prepare the graveyard, then turn selected creatures face up and convert those actions into cards, counters and extra lands.
- What to take next
- Develop Oblivious Bookworm, then manifest dread during your turn so its end-step draw need not discard. Overgrown Zealot's special two mana helps turn a creature face up later, which also satisfies Bookworm.
- Wrong pick
- Manifested creatures have no inherent ward. Turning one face up is a special action, not casting or entering again, and normal turn-up requires a creature card with a payable mana cost.
- 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.
