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 (6.2/10).
Why. A five-mana 2/4 that creates a Food token. Its Disappear puts three +1/+1 counters on another artifact or creature at your end step if a permanent left the battlefield under your control. Sacrificing the Food is enough to turn it on.
Risks. It's expensive for a 2/4 and needs black and green. If none of your permanents leaves, it puts no counters.
In the draft. A good uncommon in black-green decks that sacrifice permanents. Take it at a mid pick.

Its place in the set
- Uncommon: rank 31 of 55

- Cost 5: rank 9 of 23
- 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.
