How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Use hybrid permanents to increase your color count, then stabilize with reach and flying while vivid provides cards and cheaper threats.
- What to take next
- Skyswimmer and its token add white and blue while Graspling adds green and blue. That gives Shinestriker three colors without a third land color.
- Wrong pick
- A splash needs mana sources; vivid only counts permanent colors. Do not add uncastable cards just to chase a fourth or fifth 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.
