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 3/3 with menace for four mana already attacks well. If you also control a creature with power 4 or greater, each attack gives you a card at the cost of 1 life. It's a good engine in a deck with big bodies.
Risks. It needs another creature with power 4 or greater: without one, it's just a 3/3 with menace. The life loss adds up with each attack. Legendary and in two colors, it's not very flexible.
In the draft. Play it in a black-green deck with big bodies. Take it as a complement, not as the pivot of your deck: it has conditions.
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
- Uncommon: rank 39 of 55
- Multicolour: rank 21 of 26
- Cost 4: rank 22 of 31
- Average pick: 5.0 (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.
