Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Keres article was read about 70,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
