How this changes your picks

Rules-derived
Take it when
Use a card once from hand and again from the graveyard, converting those second casts into prepared spells and sustained pressure. Look for support such as Group Project and Rubble Rouser.
What to take next
Flash back Inventory to put a counter on a creature and prepare Kirol as the card leaves your graveyard. Pack a Punch supplies another attack upgrade.
Wrong pick
Flashback still follows the spell’s timing. Group Project can tap newly entered creatures as its flashback cost, but leaves them unavailable to block.
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.
