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 (6.5/10).

Why. A land that taps for black, enters untapped if you control a basic land, and can spend four mana (one of them black) and tap itself to make a 1/1 colorless Spirit creature token that can't block or be blocked by non-Spirit creatures. It gives late-game value without taking a spell slot.

Risks. It enters tapped if you control no basic land, which can slow an early game. The Spirit token stays small: it is an extra, not a win on its own.

In the draft. Play it in any black deck: it costs almost nothing to include. Take it as a good utility land, not ahead of a strong spell.

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 game57.7 %(set average : 56.2 %)
Card in the opening hand56.7 %(set average : 55.4 %)
Card drawn during the game58.3 %(set average : 56.8 %)

Its place in the set

  • Rare: rank 32 of 60
  • Colourless: rank 6 of 31
  • Cost 0: rank 4 of 19
  • Average pick: 4.3 (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.
