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 good playable, but is sometimes cut (3.8/10).

Why. It gives you one extra energy counter whenever you would get any, and taps to draw a card if you paid or lost four or more in a turn. It is a payoff for a blue-red Energy deck, not a standalone card.

Risks. Without several energy sources and several ways to spend it, it never draws. It has no effect on the board and blocks nothing.

In the draft. Play it only in a blue-red deck loaded with energy cards. Otherwise it is end-of-pack filler.

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 100 of 120
  • Multicolour: rank 36 of 39
  • Cost 2: rank 78 of 86
  • Average pick: 9.0 (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.

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.
