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).

A solid playable that rarely gets cut (5.0/10).

Why. A two-mana hybrid red-green 2/2 that enters prepared, so you can cast Soul Tether to create a Heartwood token, a red and green artifact that taps for red or green. You get a body on turn two and acceleration after that.

Risks. The 2/2 is a small body, and Soul Tether costs three to get mana, which is slower than casting another card. It does not shift the balance of the board.

In the draft. A decent common for a red-green deck that wants to ramp. Take it in the middle of the pack, after removal and solid creatures.

Its place in the set

Common: rank 27 of 81
Multicolour: rank 42 of 54
Cost 2: rank 55 of 82
Average pick: 6.0 (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.
