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).

One of the 10 best cards of the set (8.8/10).

Why. A one-drop that grows whenever you cast a spell that costs enough, thanks to Increment. If it dies with counters, you get a green and blue Fractal creature token that keeps them, so removal does not wipe out all its value.

Risks. It only grows when the mana you spend beats its power or toughness, so cheap spells do nothing for it. As a plain 1/1 it dies to anything.

In the draft. A very good green pick to play on turn one, especially with a rising curve. It rewards decks that cast a spell every turn.

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

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.
