How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Trade creatures and mill permanent cards, then take over with graveyard-sized removal and recurring threats. Look for support such as Deathcap Marionette and Waterwind Scout.
- What to take next
- Marionette can trade and mill permanent cards. Echo turns that stocked graveyard into a larger toughness reduction.
- Wrong pick
- Instants and sorceries do not count toward descend. Reanimating your largest threat also reduces the permanent count.
- 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.
