The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While border control is typically associated with international borders, it also encompasses controls imposed on internal borders within a single state.
- Border control measures serve a variety of purposes, ranging from enforcing customs, sanitary and phytosanitary, or biosecurity regulations to restricting migration.
- While some borders are open and completely unguarded, others are subject to some degree of control and may be crossed legally only at designated checkpoints.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Border control 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 100 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
