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 (6.4/10).

Why. A five-mana Saga that first exiles an opposing creature with power three or greater, then makes a 2/1 white Cat Warrior creature token and puts a vigilance counter on a creature you control, and finishes by giving one double strike. A lot of value over three turns.

Risks. The removal needs a target with power three or more, and it is slow: you pay five mana and only see the rest on later turns. Chapter one is what matters.

In the draft. A good value removal in white. Take it in midrange white decks, especially red-white.

Win rate of the card

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.
