The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The fully developed bastion consists of two faces and two flanks, with fire from the flanks being able to protect the curtain wall and the adjacent bastions.
- Compared with the medieval fortified towers they replaced, bastion fortifications offered a greater degree of passive resistance and more scope for ranged defence in the age of gunpowder artillery.
- As military architecture, the bastion is one element in the style of fortification dominant from the mid 16th to mid 19th centuries.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bastion article was read about 77,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.

Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
