The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- Larger helipads, intended for use by helicopters and other vertical take-off and landing aircraft, may be called vertiports.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Helipad article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Helipad
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.
