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 (6.6/10).

Why. A 3/4 that can return an instant or sorcery from your graveyard on entering (by discarding a card), then earthbends 1 whenever you cast a spell, with an extra counter for Lessons. She produces threats nonstop in a spell-heavy deck.

Risks. Getting the spell back costs a discard, and you need an instant or sorcery in the graveyard already. Her value follows your spell count: in a creature-heavy deck she is more ordinary.

In the draft. A good rare for a red-green deck with plenty of instants and sorceries. Take her fairly early if that plan appeals.

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 31 of 60
Multicolour: rank 18 of 51
Cost 4: rank 13 of 52
Average pick: 2.8 (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.
