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 (7.0/10).
Why. A 2/2 for three that makes a Food token when it enters. Its second ability is unusual: at the beginning of combat on your turn you may give an opponent a permanent to create a white 1/1 Ally creature token, which gets a +1/+1 counter for each permanent you own that your opponents control.
Risks. Giving a permanent to the opponent is risky: you help them if it is good. You have to pick unimportant permanents, like the Food. The 2/2 body is fragile.
In the draft. A pick for red-white decks, to be played thoughtfully. It is not a card to take early: its value depends on how you use it.
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.

Its place in the set
- Rare: rank 22 of 60
- Multicolour: rank 13 of 51
- Cost 3: rank 11 of 64
- 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.
