Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hamming code article was read about 91,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
