How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Spread counters across useful creatures, then use trample and Haliya’s combat reward to keep pressure and cards flowing.
- What to take next
- Give an existing attacker a counter with Drix Fatemaker or Enhancer before combat. Fatemaker supplies trample so a small blocker cannot stop every point.
- Wrong pick
- Haliya needs two white mana. More counter payoffs do not replace early bodies or the sources needed to cast the five-mana legend.
- 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.
