The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It links a chain of coastal backwaters and waterways and passes through Chennai.
- Developed in stages under British rule from 1806, the canal became an important coastal transport route during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
- Competition from rail and road transport later reduced its commercial importance, while sections in Chennai became silted and heavily polluted by sewage and industrial effluents.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Buckingham Canal article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
