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.

Raven of Fell Omens
Raven of Fell OmensA cheap flyer that drains life when you commit a crime, once each turn.
Consuming Ashes
Consuming AshesExiles any creature and can surveil if its mana value is small.
Deepmuck Desperado
Deepmuck DesperadoRepeatable crimes can mill an opponent out; it needs real crime enablers rather than an ordinary creature curve.

How to read this

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.
