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 very good rare of the format (7.1/10).
Why. A 2/1 for two mana with first strike, playable in a red or white deck thanks to its hybrid cost. When it enters or attacks, it puts a hone counter on each Equipment you control: each counter gives +1/+0 to the equipped creature. With Equipment, your carriers get dangerous fast.
Risks. Without Equipment it's just a 2/1 with first strike, fine but nothing more. Its 1 toughness makes it vulnerable to damage spells and almost every block.
In the draft. A good pick in a red or white deck with Equipment, much worse without. Look for Equipment alongside it, and don't take it too high in a deck with no support.
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
- Rare: rank 12 of 53
- Multicolour: rank 2 of 26
- Cost 2: rank 12 of 55
- Average pick: 2.5 (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.
