The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is similar to interpolation, which produces estimates between known observations, but extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk of producing meaningless results.
- Extrapolation may also mean extension of a method, assuming similar methods will be applicable.
- Extrapolation may also apply to human experience to project, extend, or expand known experience into an area not known or previously experienced.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Extrapolation article was read about 32,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
