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 (6.8/10).
Why. A five-mana 4/5 flyer that exiles the top two cards of an opponent's library whenever she or another Elf or Faerie enters. Once each turn, you may cast for free a spell exiled this turn with mana value up to the number of your Elves and Faeries.
Risks. Three colors, so she's hard to cast. Her effect needs other Elves and Faeries; without them the body is her only argument.
In the draft. A pick for a black-green deck with a blue splash. Take her if your mana allows it.
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 27 of 61
- Multicolour: rank 19 of 49
- Cost 5: rank 11 of 32
- Average pick: 2.6 (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.
