The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are sometimes mixed with pile barrages.
- In modern times they usually have civil uses, such as to prevent access to a dangerous river channel.
- But, especially historically, they have been used militarily, with the goal of denying access to an enemy's ships: a modern example is the anti-submarine net.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Boom article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 48: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get Boom
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.
