I guess color means rarity (Yellow - Rare, Grey - Uncommon, Black - Common)

It is what is best in draft not always best in constructed.

It may be the average time it is picked, but wouldn't commons be picked more because there seen more often? Whereas rares show up less often

A card with 1.5 average pick basically means that half the time, when its seen, its picked first. half the time, its picked second. Commons are more common but, in general, they aren't picked quicker than cards with higher rarities. So commons will have more picks in the 3-14 range.

So for instance a Deathrite Shaman has a 3.14 average pick. This means this card is picked first on most occasions?

Naw, it means its mostly picked around 3rd.

how confusing

howso?

if the next 1000 people picked it 1st, that number would slide down, who knows, somewhere around 2?

If the picks look something like:

[1, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 3, 3]

average = 3.14

awe, see that makes more sense. I was thinking about it in a different manner. I thought the higher the number the more common it was picked. But I was correlating the number with the turn it was picked on. Thanks for the clarification
