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 (8.7/10).

Why. A 5/7 flier for five mana, already a very good threat. At your end step, if creatures you control have total toughness 10 or greater, you draw a card; at 20 you untap your creatures; at 40 each opponent loses half their life, rounded up.

Risks. Exactly three colours (white, black and green), and a deck that must line up big bodies to reach its thresholds. Alone, it is not a replacement for removal.

In the draft. Take it early if you are white, black and green. Otherwise it is difficult to play; total toughness matters more than the number of creatures.

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.

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.
