Reach defends the air while expensive casts can increase its size through increment.

How this changes your picks

Rules-derived
Take it when
Use green mana development to cast larger red spells, with increment creatures turning that spending into a stronger board. Look for support such as Studious First-Year // Rampant Growth and Topiary Lecturer.
What to take next
Mockery answers a blocker and may grow Lecturer if its three mana exceeds Lecturer’s power or toughness at both checks.
Wrong pick
More mana is useful only with enough spells to spend it on. Keep early interaction instead of loading up on expensive converge rewards.
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.

How to read this

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.
