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).
Good playable that always makes the cut (6.0/10).
Why. A two-mana instant that digs three cards deep and keeps one, with the rest going to the bottom. Clean selection at the end of the opponent's turn. With three Lessons in your graveyard you keep all three cards, which is a big swing.
Risks. Without Lessons it is a one-for-one that does nothing to the board. Reaching three Lessons takes a deck built for it, and too much selection slows you down.
In the draft. A support card for a blue Lessons or control deck. Take it after your creatures and removal. One or two copies is plenty.

Its place in the set
- Uncommon: rank 40 of 110
- Blue: rank 17 of 40
- Cost 2: rank 25 of 74
- Average pick: 3.6 (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.
Win rate: strong players and all players
Percentage of games won when the card is in hand; strong players are those ranked diamond or mythic online.
