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).
A very good mythic of the format (7.4/10).
Why. A planeswalker that is a 3/4 Ninja with hexproof during your turn. It can give you an emblem, surveil 2 then draw if an opponent lost life, or tap a creature and put two stun counters on it.
Risks. A blue-black card, expensive to cast. It is a creature only during your turn and remains vulnerable to opposing attacks.
In the draft. A decent pick in blue-black, better in an offensive deck. The emblem helps Kaito himself during your turn, and any other Ninjas.

Its place in the set

- Multicolour: rank 6 of 34
- Cost 4: rank 5 of 41
- Average pick: 1.9 (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.
