The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its purpose was to secure a maritime trade route with the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, in present-day Indonesia.
- The expedition departed Spain in 1519 and returned there in 1522 under the command of Elcano, who continued the voyage after Magellan's death in the Philippines.
- One of the most significant voyages in the Age of Discovery, the nearly three-year expedition totaled 60,440 km and was the first to sail around the earth.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Magellan expedition article was read about 220,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
