The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In its simplest form, a battering ram is just a large, heavy log carried by several people and propelled with force against an obstacle, the ram would be sufficient to damage the target if the log were massive enough and/or it were moved quickly enough.
- Later rams encased the log in an arrow-proof, fire-resistant canopy mounted on wheels.
- Inside the canopy, the log was swung from suspensory chains or ropes.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Battering ram article was read about 45,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
