How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Use artifacts that replace themselves to fuel sacrifice and card flow while removal buys time for flyers or Spacecraft.
- What to take next
- Play Cryogen Relic, then sacrifice it to Selfcraft Mechan. The Relic’s leave trigger adds a separate card to the Mechan’s counter-and-draw reward.
- Wrong pick
- Expensive artifacts are not all disposable. Keep enough early creatures and cheap artifacts to pay costs without giving away the board.
- 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.
