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 uncommon of the format (7.0/10).
Why. A flier with ward 1 for three. Its power equals the noncreature, nonland cards in your graveyard, so it grows more dangerous as the game goes on. It replaces itself when it dies if you have a Lesson.
Risks. It arrives with zero power early, and a game with few spells leaves it weak. Its power shrinks if your graveyard gets exiled. Two specific colors: blue and red.
In the draft. A good pick for blue-red decks with plenty of instants and sorceries. In a deck with few spells it loses a lot of value.
Win rate of the card

Its place in the set
- Uncommon: rank 10 of 110
- Multicolour: rank 12 of 51
- Cost 3: rank 10 of 64
- Average pick: 5.4 (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.
