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 (5.4/10).
Why. A three-mana 3/3 with Mobilize 1: each attack adds a tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior creature token. On entry, a creature gets +1/+0 and indestructible until end of turn, enough to save an ally from removal or win a combat.
Risks. Its hybrid cost is paid with three colours: without red, white and black it becomes very expensive. The 3/3 remains fragile against removal.
In the draft. A good mid-curve card for an aggressive red-white-black deck. Take it mid-pack in those colours and barely at all outside them.
Win rate of the card

Its place in the set
- Common: rank 28 of 91
- Multicolour: rank 45 of 66
- Cost 6: rank 11 of 23
- Average pick: 9.6 (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.
