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).

One of the 10 best cards of the set (8.9/10).

Why. A 3/3 for three that becomes indestructible by tapping another untapped creature: it survives damage and destroy effects. Its second ability, at five mana, gives your whole team a bonus equal to the greatest power: a finisher in a green deck with big bodies.

Risks. To make it indestructible you tap another creature and Tyvar himself, so neither blocks afterwards. It does not protect against exile or sacrifice effects.

In the draft. A very good pick in green creature decks. Look for big creatures and defense to use the pump in long games.

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.
