How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Build several bodies, preserve pressure through deaths and use expendable creatures or artifacts for profitable sacrifices.
- What to take next
- Warp Knight Luminary to leave a Soldier behind. On a later turn Comet Crawler can sacrifice that body when the lifelink attack is worth more than a spare blocker.
- Wrong pick
- Sacrificing a creature is not free merely because it is a token. Keep enough bodies for safe attacks, Focus Fire and defense.
- 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.
