Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Columbia Icefield article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
