The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The two current ice sheets are the Antarctic ice sheet and the Greenland ice sheet.
- Ice sheets are the largest glacial bodies on Earth, distinguished from smaller ice caps or alpine glaciers.
- Ice sheets can have multiple ice domes, the topographic highs from which ice flows outwards, and are typically drained by ice streams and outlet glaciers around their periphery.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ice sheet article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
