The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae.
- Measuring on average 95 to 100 cm from beak tip to end of tail with a 145-to-155 cm wingspan, the adult black stork has mainly black plumage, with white underparts, long red legs and a long pointed red beak.
- A widespread but uncommon species, it breeds in scattered locations across Europe, and east across the Palearctic to the Pacific Ocean.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Black stork article was read about 32,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
