Stabilize with interactive spells, then use mana support to cast expensive instants and sorceries with upgraded opus rewards. Flashing back Tome Blast spends five mana and gives Skywhale permanent counters rather than a temporary power boost.
How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Stabilize with interactive spells, then use mana support to cast expensive instants and sorceries with upgraded opus rewards. Look for support such as Abstract Paintmage and Spectacular Skywhale.
- What to take next
- Flashing back Tome Blast spends five mana and gives Skywhale permanent counters rather than a temporary power boost.
- Wrong pick
- Sanar’s Treasure can be made only after you have already cast an instant or sorcery that turn. Plan the first spell’s mana.
- 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.
