How this changes your picks

Rules-derived
Take it when
Defend with cheap interaction and enchantment bodies, use eerie to improve draws and drain life, then win through flying threats and repeated card advantage.
What to take next
Establish Skullsnap Nuisance or Balemurk Leech, then hold up Glimmerburst. Its Glimmer token is an enchantment entry that creates the eerie reward while the spell replenishes your hand.
Wrong pick
Fear of Infinity cannot block even though it has lifelink. Keep genuine defensive creatures and remember returning it with eerie puts it into your hand, requiring another cast.
Mana & splash
Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

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.
