The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Although the common perception of a traditionally rigged ship is that the sails are handled from "up in the rigging", the majority of the work is actually carried out from the deck.
- In particular, when sailors go aloft to stow the square sails by bundling them up and tying them to the yard they don't have to pull the whole weight of the sail up towards them.
- That work has already been carried out from the deck using the clewlines and the buntlines.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Clewlines and buntlines article was read about 4,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 45 and blocks with 14: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
How to get Clewlines and buntlines
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.
