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. The hybrid cost makes it playable in a black deck as well as a green one, so you don't have to pick early. When it enters, it puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature of your choice, itself included: it then becomes a 4/2. It can't be blocked by tokens, useful against token decks.

Risks. A 3/1 before the counter: a block or the slightest damage kills it, and the counter on itself only partly fixes its fragility. Its evasion only concerns tokens.

In the draft. A decent mid-curve body for a black or green deck. Not urgent, but it does its job at a good point of the curve.

Its place in the set

Common: rank 31 of 65

Cost 3: rank 34 of 46
Average pick: 7.3 (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.
