How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Play creatures burdened by removable counters, add bodies to restore their size, and convert counter removal into evasion or disabled blockers.
- What to take next
- Elder Auntie and its token remove both counters from Dounguard. Later Hurler can give a restored attacker flying before combat.
- Wrong pick
- Hurler can only give another creature flying. Budget its activation before spending all your mana on a new spell.
- 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.
