- The filter acts on mechanical vibrations which are the analogue of the electrical signal.
- At the input and output of the filter, transducers convert the electrical signal into, and then back from, these mechanical vibrations.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mechanical filter article was read about 4,800 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 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
