The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The typical implementation of DST is to adjust clocks ahead of standard time by one hour in spring or late winter, and to set clocks back by one hour in the autumn.
- In many countries, the part of the year when DST is observed is much longer than the part aligned to standard time.
- The practice of DST was first tested and widely adopted in the early 20th century, since when many jurisdictions have introduced DST, while others have abandoned DST partially or entirely.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Daylight saving time article was read about 2,200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
