Karakyk Guardian · {3}{G}{U}{R} · Creature — Dragon · Flying, vigilance, trample
This creature has hexproof as long as it hasn't dealt damage yet. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.) · Power / toughness: 6/5 · As the Temur returned to Karakyk during the chill of winter, some shadows overhead were a blessing rather than a threat.

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.
