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 four-mana 3/3 with menace and prowess that gives other Allies the same abilities and makes a 1/1 white Ally creature token whenever you cast a noncreature spell. In a deck full of spells and Allies, it keeps producing attackers.

Risks. It costs three colours: red, blue and white, which is very demanding. You also need many noncreature spells, and removal kills it before it has produced anything.

In the draft. Take it only if you are already in these three colours or close to it. Otherwise it rots in hand; do not take it early.

Its place in the set

Rare: rank 41 of 60

Average pick: 3.4 (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.
