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 (6.0/10).
Why. A 4/2 for two mana, which hits hard early. It does not untap during your untap step, but with Morbid it untaps at the end of any turn in which a creature died, which happens fast in an aggressive deck.
Risks. It stays tapped until a creature dies, so it rarely blocks. With only two toughness it dies to almost any small blocker.
In the draft. A good pick for aggressive red decks with removal and frequent trades. In a slower deck, its drawback becomes a real burden.
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.

Its place in the set

- Red: rank 15 of 43
- Cost 2: rank 22 of 57

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.
