Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Colossal Cave Adventure article was read about 91,000 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 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
