How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Curve into large Dinosaurs, use their power to clear blockers, and finish with trample. Look for support such as Belligerent Yearling and Armored Kincaller.
- What to take next
- Play a larger Dinosaur before combat to raise Yearling’s base power for that turn; Yearling supplies trample itself.
- Wrong pick
- Itzquinth needs two extra mana for its damage trigger. Do not count casting it on turn two as removal.
- 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.
