Start with inexpensive creatures, then use creature-targeting spells to grow the team and force damage through. Practice targets a creature and triggers Scornmage before resolving. Its life gain can also bridge into infusion effects.
How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Start with inexpensive creatures, then use creature-targeting spells to grow the team and force damage through. Look for support such as Lecturing Scornmage and Elite Interceptor // Rejoinder.
- What to take next
- Practice targets a creature and triggers Scornmage before resolving. Its life gain can also bridge into infusion effects.
- Wrong pick
- A pile of tricks needs enough creatures. Repartee does not trigger from an activated ability or an Aura spell.
- 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.
