Bond, a Rare card
In finance, a bond is a type of security under which the issuer owes the holder a debt, and is obliged – depending on the terms – to provide cash flow to the creditor, which usually consists of repaying the principal of the bond at the maturity date, as well as interest over a specified amount of time.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The timing and the amount of cash flow provided varies, depending on the economic value that is emphasized upon, thus giving rise to different types of bonds.
- The interest is usually payable at fixed intervals: semiannual, annual, and less often at other periods.
- Thus, a bond is a form of loan or IOU.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bond article was read about 220,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
