- What to take next
- Play creatures on time, build an Army, and use removal to keep attacking. Disposable Orcs and Goblins can become damage or removal while growing Uglúk.
- Wrong pick
- Amass normally grows one Army. Three amass cards do not automatically give you three creatures to sacrifice.
- Mana & splash
- Usually play both colors for a synergy reward. Splash only if it works with your existing cards and you already have reliable fixing.

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.
