How are these measures computed?
Pick rating. The pick rating estimates what a card is worth when you choose it, before there are results: it combines several signals (expert evaluations, the choices of strong players, characteristics of the card such as its cost and rarity) and was tuned on the results of decks of strong players. It is for comparing cards while you draft.
Observed strength. The observed strength is the win rate of the games in which the card was in hand at some point (opening hand or drawn), from hundreds of thousands of real games of online draft players since the set came out. The rank compares the cards seen in at least 1,000 games. It does not correct for the strength of the deck the card is played in, and a result stays uncertain for a card that is played little (about 1.6 points of margin at 1,000 games).
Good playable that always makes the cut (6.4/10).
Why. A 5/5 trampler for four mana that also gives you extra cards: pay X to exile the top X cards of your library and play them until the end of your next turn. It also lets you play an additional land each turn.
Risks. It needs two red and two green mana, so both colours must be in place. Exiled cards are lost if you cannot play them in time.
In the draft. A good card for a red-green deck. With enough lands, the effect gets stronger the larger X is.
Win rate of the card
Percentage of games won by the decks that play this card, depending on when it shows up, from the real games of the set.
Gap when it is drawn, against the games where it is not : +7.0 win-rate points
Its place in the set
- Mythic: rank 16 of 20
- Multicolour: rank 20 of 39
- Cost 4: rank 10 of 38
- Average pick: 2.8 (1 = taken first from a pack; the lower the number, the earlier players choose it)
Win rate by colour pair
Percentage of games won by the decks of each pair that play the card, with the number of games. The pairs are the two main colors of the deck: when the card has a color outside the pair, the deck plays it as a splash (marked “splash”). A pair that has an archetype in this set leads to its guide.
