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 rares of the format (8.5/10).
Why. A three-drop with flash and flying that exiles another creature or a spell with Airbend. Excellent tempo: you delay an opposing threat or put one of your own out of harm's way. At eight mana, Waterbend transforms it and every attack boosts your tapped creatures.
Risks. You need white and blue on turn 3. The opponent can recast the exiled card for two mana, so it is a tempo gain more than a removal.
In the draft. A very good pick for white-blue decks; take it right after the strongest cards. Outside those colors it loses almost all of its value.

Its place in the set
- Rare: rank 2 of 60
- Multicolour: rank 2 of 51
- Cost 3: rank 1 of 64
- Average pick: 1.8 (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.
