The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This species is a widespread summer migrant to Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa.
- It is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species, particularly of dunnocks, meadow pipits, and reed warblers.
- Although its eggs are larger than those of its hosts, the eggs in each type of host nest resemble the host's eggs.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Common cuckoo article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
