How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Attack early and arrange for a permanent card to reach your graveyard on successive turns. Look for support such as Greedy Freebooter and Deep Goblin Skulltaker.
- What to take next
- Trade Freebooter in combat to descend, leaving Treasure while Zoyowa pressures the opponent at your end step.
- Wrong pick
- Sacrificing a Treasure token alone does not make you descend. Avoid holding back useful attacks merely to keep every creature alive.
- 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.
