How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Develop Pirates and cheap artifacts, accumulating counters while flyers and tempo effects keep attacks open. Look for support such as Spyglass Siren and Goblin Tomb Raider.
- What to take next
- Siren’s Map enters as an artifact and triggers Captain Storm, which can place its counter on Siren or another Pirate.
- Wrong pick
- Captain Storm’s counter needs a Pirate target. Keep enough Pirates rather than drafting artifacts with no creatures to reward.
- Mana & splash
- Count the colored sources needed to cast this card on time; a synergy payoff is not a reason to weaken an otherwise consistent mana base.

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.
