Repeatable crimes can mill an opponent out; it needs real crime enablers rather than an ordinary creature curve.
How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Survive with removal while repeatable targeted effects trigger crimes and generate incremental cards or life swings. Look for support such as Raven of Fell Omens and Consuming Ashes.
- What to take next
- Exile an opposing creature to commit a crime, return Campaign to hand, and recast it on a later turn for another card.
- Wrong pick
- Campaign returns only from the battlefield. Its enter ability has no target and does not itself commit a crime.
- 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.
