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 best commons of the format (7.4/10).

Why. A one-mana 1/1 artifact creature that becomes 2/1 with another artifact, and can call another copy of itself for three mana. It is good filler for an artifact deck.

Risks. A 1/1 for one mana loses power as the game goes on. Its ability only finds copies of the same name, so without several copies it is useless.

In the draft. A fair common in an aggressive or artifact white deck. Do not take it before stronger cards.

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 game58.1 %(set average : 56.4 %)
Card in the opening hand60.4 %(set average : 55.2 %)
Card drawn during the game55.9 %(set average : 57.2 %)

Its place in the set

  • Common: rank 1 of 90
  • White: rank 6 of 43
  • Cost 1: rank 2 of 29
  • Average pick: 6.2 (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.
