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).
One of the very best uncommons of the format (7.9/10).
Why. A 3/3 that creates a 1/1 Robot token on entering, then gives +3/+0, first strike and vigilance to an artifact creature at the beginning of combat. The Robot token becomes a 4/1 first striker that attacks at little risk every turn.
Risks. It needs blue and red and costs five. Without an artifact creature its ability does nothing, and removal on the token leaves it without a target.
In the draft. A good uncommon for blue-red artifact decks. In other decks, let it go.

Its place in the set
- Uncommon: rank 9 of 55
- Multicolour: rank 2 of 33
- Cost 5: rank 3 of 23
- Average pick: 4.6 (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.
