The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a common method for writing news stories and has wide adaptability to other kinds of texts, such as blogs, editorial columns and marketing factsheets.
- It is a way to communicate the basics about a topic in the initial sentences.
- The inverted pyramid is taught to mass communication and journalism students, and is systematically used in English-language media.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Inverted pyramid article was read about 48,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
