How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Turn creatures into station power and end-step rewards, then convert developed Spacecraft and extra Robots into an attack.
- What to take next
- Station with Starfighter Pilot and another creature. Pilot surveils, while keeping two creatures tapped through the end step enables Sami and War-Rager.
- Wrong pick
- Sami requires two tapped creatures, not tapped lands or noncreature Spacecraft. Stationing can leave too few blockers for the return attack.
- 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.
