How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Control the board with removal while treating removable -1/-1 counters as a resource for cards, growth and reanimation.
- What to take next
- Use Willow’s counters to return Lamenter. Lamenter can later remove its own counter to draw, leaving two improved bodies.
- Wrong pick
- Counter-removal abilities often work only at sorcery speed. They do not let you rescue a zero-toughness creature after it dies.
- 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.
