Gulf Stream, a Rare card
The Gulf Stream is a warm and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows through the Straits of Florida and up the eastern coastline of the United States, then veers east near 36°N latitude and moves toward Northwest Europe as the North Atlantic Current.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The process of western intensification causes the Gulf Stream to be a northward-accelerating current off the east coast of North America.
- Around 40°0′N 30°0′W, it splits in two, with the northern stream, the North Atlantic Drift, crossing to Northern Europe and the southern stream, the Canary Current, recirculating off West Africa.
- The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the coastal areas of the East Coast of the United States from Florida to southeast Virginia, and to a greater degree, the climate of Northwest Europe.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gulf Stream article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
