ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get BIND
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.
