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 very best rares of the format (8.2/10).

Why. A five-mana sorcery that exiles all creatures and Spacecraft. When you are behind on board, it resets everything and gets around death-based effects.

Risks. It also hits your own creatures and Spacecraft. It is dead in an aggressive deck and costs you your turn-5 play.

In the draft. Take it for a white control or value deck with few creatures. In an aggro deck, pass it: it does more harm than good.

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.

Card in hand at some point in the game59.4 %(set average : 56.0 %)
Card in the opening hand57.1 %(set average : 54.8 %)
Card drawn during the game60.9 %(set average : 56.8 %)

Its place in the set

  • Rare: rank 11 of 60
  • White: rank 5 of 43
  • Cost 5: rank 3 of 29
  • Average pick: 2.2 (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.

Intrinsic ratings: they do not take into account the cards you have already picked. They matter most for the first pick of the first pack.
