Lazav, Familiar Stranger · {1}{U}{B} · Legendary Creature — Shapeshifter · Whenever you commit a crime, put a +1/+1 counter on Lazav. Then you may exile a card from a graveyard.

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.
