How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Develop creatures with useful tap triggers, use green fixing, and reuse removal or pump through harmonize. Blue Temur cards require support in the mana base.
- What to take next
- Tap Botanist or Rescue Leopard to reduce a harmonize cost. Their tap triggers supply selection while the creature’s power pays only generic mana.
- Wrong pick
- The red Charring Bite Omen is usable without white mana, but its white Dragon side is not. Casting the Omen shuffles the card away rather than saving a later creature cast.
- Mana & splash
- Keep the colored sources needed for early spells. A synergy payoff does not automatically justify a splash.

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.
