The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It refers to a narrow stretch of traversable and relatively arable plain west of the Yellow River's Ordos Loop, flanked between the much more elevated and inhospitable terrains of the Mongolian and Tibetan Plateaus.
- The Hexi Corridor enabled cultural and agricultural exchange between China and Eurasia for several milennia, in both prehistory and as part of the Northern Silk Road after the Han Dynasty.
- As part of the Northern Silk Road, running northwest from the western section of the Ordos Loop between Yinchuan and Lanzhou, the Hexi Corridor was the most important trade route in Northwest China.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hexi Corridor article was read about 66,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
