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 very good rare of the format (6.6/10).

Why. A four-mana 3/3 that mills four cards, then returns a creature card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, possibly one it just milled. Two bodies for one card.

Risks. Three colours by turn four is hard to hit on time. It must be cast from your hand, and with no creature card of mana value 3 or less in the graveyard it is just a 3/3.

In the draft. Only take it if you're already set up in white, black and green. Otherwise it isn't worth the mana demands.

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.

Card in hand at some point in the game56.9 %(set average : 56.0 %)

Card in the opening hand55.5 %(set average : 54.9 %)

Card drawn during the game57.8 %(set average : 56.7 %)

Gap when it is drawn, against the games where it is not : +3.8 win-rate points

How often it ends up in the deck once drafted by a strong player (not a win rate)68.0 %(set average : 65.0 %)

Its place in the set

Rare: rank 44 of 60
Multicolour: rank 27 of 66
Cost 4: rank 11 of 44
Average pick: 4.2 (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.
