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 (6.2/10).

Why. A two-mana 1/3 that creates a Clue token on entering. It blocks small creatures well and gives you a card to draw later: a good early body that replaces itself.

Risks. One power threatens nothing, and the Clue costs two mana to crack. It does not win the game on its own.

In the draft. A solid blue common, especially in a control or defensive deck. An Ally, so it helps the synergies.

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 game57.5 %(set average : 56.2 %)
Card in the opening hand56.9 %(set average : 55.4 %)
Card drawn during the game57.9 %(set average : 56.8 %)

Its place in the set

  • Common: rank 3 of 91
  • Blue: rank 13 of 40
  • Cost 2: rank 21 of 74
  • Average pick: 4.8 (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.
