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 3 best cards of the set (9.1/10).
Why. A three-mana 3/3 that drains one life whenever another creature dies, and can sacrifice another creature to draw when it enters and each time it attacks. After four drains in one turn it flips into a flier, and an emblem drains on every creature death.
Risks. One life per death is modest, and the transform needs four drains in a single turn, which is rare without a plan. With no fodder it is still a decent 3/3.
In the draft. A bomb for a black deck that likes trades and small creatures. Take it high and look for tokens or cheap creatures to sacrifice.
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
- Mythic: rank 2 of 20
- Black: rank 1 of 42
- Cost 3: rank 1 of 67
- Average pick: 1.3 (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.
