The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.
- The most familiar form is an elevator, the car of which is raised and lowered by a hoist mechanism.
- Most hoists couple to their loads using a lifting hook.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hoist article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
