The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The distinguishing feature of a lock is a chamber in a permanently fixed position in which the water level can be varied.
- In a caisson lock, a boat lift, or on a canal inclined plane, it is the chamber itself that rises and falls.
- Locks are used to make a river more easily navigable, or to allow a canal to cross land that is not level.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lock article was read about 71,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 81: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get Lock
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
