- Cratons are composed of ancient crystalline basement rocks covered by younger sedimentary rocks.
- They have a thick crust and deep lithospheric roots extending several hundred kilometres into Earth's mantle.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
