The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Defoliants are widely used for the selective removal of weeds in managing croplands and lawns.
- Worldwide use of defoliants, along with the development of other herbicides and pesticides, allowed for the Green Revolution, an increase in agricultural production in mid-20th century.
- Defoliants have also been used in warfare as a means to deprive an enemy of food crops and/or hiding cover, most notably by the United Kingdom during the Malayan Emergency and the United States in the Vietnam War.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Defoliant article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
