The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It refers to the historical period during which mankind has explored the region north of the Arctic Circle.
- Historical records suggest that humankind have explored the northern extremes since 325 BC, when the ancient Greek sailor Pytheas reached a frozen sea while attempting to find a source of the metal tin.
- Dangerous oceans and poor weather conditions often fetter explorers attempting to reach polar regions, and journeying through these perils by sight, boat, and foot has proven difficult.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Arctic exploration article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
