How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Set up inexpensive or plotted spells, then cast two in one turn to turn tempo into cards and permanent growth. Look for support such as Cunning Coyote and Razzle-Dazzler.
- What to take next
- Cast a previously plotted Coyote for free, then another spell to trigger Kraum without needing a large mana reserve.
- Wrong pick
- Plotting a card is not your first spell. Loan Shark must enter after you have cast at least two spells that turn.
- 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.
