How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Develop mana, plot larger spells efficiently, and release several threats on later turns while keeping cards flowing. Look for support such as Hardbristle Bandit and Beastbond Outcaster.
- What to take next
- Doc reduces Outcaster’s plot cost. Cast it on a later turn after establishing four power to draw a card as it enters.
- Wrong pick
- Plot saves future mana but spends a turn’s tempo now. Include interaction and early blockers so you can afford that setup.
- 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.
