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 (4.5/10).

Why. For six mana you get a 6/6 trampling Phyrexian Germ through Living weapon, and an Equipment that stays behind. If the Germ dies, the Equipment can move to another creature and give it +6/+6.

Risks. The Germ is an easy target: one removal spell or a double block and you paid six mana for an Equipment with an expensive equip cost. It is slow and costly.

In the draft. A fine top-end in a green deck that can survive to turn six. A middling pick, take it after your removal and your good creatures, not before.

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.
