Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fathom article was read about 96,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Fathom
