The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Datums are crucial to any technology or technique based on spatial location, including geodesy, navigation, surveying, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and cartography.
- A horizontal datum is used to measure a horizontal position, across the Earth's surface, in latitude and longitude or another related coordinate system.
- A vertical datum is used to measure the elevation or depth relative to a standard origin, such as mean sea level.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geodetic datum article was read about 31,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Geodetic datum
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
