The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is very important in sailing, rock climbing and caving as a method of stopping ropes from running out of retaining devices.
- Like the overhand knot, which will jam under strain, often requiring the rope to be cut, the figure-eight will also jam, but is usually more easily undone than the overhand knot.
- The figure-eight or figure-of-eight knot is also called the Flemish knot.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Figure-eight knot article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
