How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Use plot and activated abilities to spend turns without casting from your hand, unlocking end-step rewards. Look for support such as Trained Arynx and Frontier Seeker.
- What to take next
- Cast a previously plotted Heist from exile, leaving Jem’s end-step condition intact while refilling your hand.
- Wrong pick
- Plotting counts as neither casting from hand nor casting a spell. Holding spells unnecessarily can still lose to an aggressive start.
- 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.
