Returns a small permanent; controlling a Mount upgrades the return from hand to battlefield.
How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Develop expendable creatures, trade value for removal, and recover small permanents to keep your board supplied. Look for support such as Prosperity Tycoon and Lassoed by the Law.
- What to take next
- Lasso supplies a token that Lawbringer can sacrifice, letting you answer another nonland permanent without giving up a full card.
- Wrong pick
- Lawbringer cannot sacrifice itself for its enter ability. Have another creature available before counting it as removal.
- 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.
