The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Cross-country skiing is widely practiced as a sport and recreational activity, however, some still use it as a means of travel.
- Variants of cross-country skiing are adapted to a range of terrain which spans unimproved, sometimes mountainous terrain to groomed courses that are specifically designed for the sport.
- Modern cross-country skiing is similar to the original form of skiing, from which all skiing disciplines evolved, including alpine skiing, ski jumping and Telemark skiing.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cross-country skiing 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 77 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
