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 (6.2/10).
Why. A three-mana Saga that creates a Treasure token with each of its four chapters: extra mana every turn. As soon as you control four Treasures (at the earliest on chapter IV), you sacrifice the Saga and create a 6/6 red Dragon creature token with flying.
Risks. To get the Dragon you have to keep all four Treasures: every Treasure spent before chapter IV delays it or cancels it. The Dragon only arrives on the third turn after you cast the Saga.
In the draft. A good mid-pack choice for a red deck that can do without its Treasures for a few turns; in an aggressive deck, it arrives too slowly.
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.
Gap when it is drawn, against the games where it is not : +2.9 win-rate points
Its place in the set
- Rare: rank 28 of 53
- Red: rank 13 of 29
- Cost 3: rank 17 of 46
- Average pick: 2.9 (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.
Win rate: strong players and all players
Percentage of games won when the card is in hand; strong players are those ranked diamond or mythic online.

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.
