How to read these numbers: GIH WR (games-in-hand win rate) is the share of games won when the card was drawn or opened — the community's headline card-quality metric. ALSA is where it was last seen in the pack; ATA is where it was actually taken. Win rates hide below meaningful samples, and every metric shows its sample. Power (0–100) blends measured performance with our model's rating; Edge compares a card's power to how early the field takes it.

Community pick data comes from Meta Sidekick drafters.
