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 (5.8/10).

Why. A two-mana green removal sorcery: your creature deals damage equal to its power to an opposing creature, taking nothing back. With the kicker (return a land to hand) the damage doubles, which can kill even a big creature.

Risks. You need a creature with good power, or the spell does very little. The kicker costs you a land to replay. If your creature dies in response, the spell fizzles.

In the draft. A good common removal for green decks with big bodies. Take it high if you already have several powerful creatures.
