How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Maintain two reliable land colors while using hybrid creatures and multicolor tokens to improve vivid damage and discounted large threats.
- What to take next
- Elder Auntie adds black through its black-red token. A green permanent then gives Prodigy three colors without adding a Swamp.
- Wrong pick
- Treasure makes any mana but has no color. Do not count it as an extra vivid color.
- 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.
