The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is calculated as the weighted average price of a market basket of consumer goods and services.
- Changes in CPI track changes in prices over time.
- The items in the basket are updated periodically to reflect changes in consumer spending habits.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Consumer price index article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
