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 (5.1/10).

Why. A three-mana 4/2 with trample makes for an aggressive turn-three play. From the graveyard, Renew gives it a second life: for two mana, put a +1/+1 counter and a trample counter on a creature.

Risks. Two toughness means it dies to almost anything and trades with any creature. Renew only works at sorcery speed.

In the draft. A solid green common for aggressive decks. Take it over a vanilla two-drop, after your removal and best creatures.
