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).
Not good filler and often gets cut (2.0/10).
Why. A four-mana 4/2 that enters prepared. Its prepared side costs a single black mana and returns a creature card from your graveyard to your hand, so it replaces a lost card.
Risks. A 4/2 dies to almost anything and has no evasion. The prepared side is useless while your graveyard has no creature card.
In the draft. A passable black filler: a late-pack pick when nothing better is available. A black-green or black-white deck plays it without issue.

Its place in the set
- Common: rank 75 of 86
- Black: rank 31 of 34
- Cost 4: rank 39 of 42
- Average pick: 9.3 (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.
