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).
Good playable that always makes the cut (5.8/10).
Why. An Aura that gives +2/+2 and flying to the enchanted creature: any body becomes a threatening aerial attacker. If it's in the graveyard, you can put it back onto the battlefield for four mana (white/blue hybrid) on a creature with power 1 or less, at sorcery speed. Removal doesn't lose it for good.
Risks. Like any Aura, removal on the enchanted creature costs you tempo, even though the Aura can come back. The return only accepts creatures with power 1 or less, and only at sorcery speed.
In the draft. A fine choice for white or blue decks with many small creatures or tokens. A mid-pack pick, not before good removal. Useless if your deck lacks bodies to enchant.

Its place in the set

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.
