The facts on the card

The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

Why it is Epic

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mercator projection article was read about 580,000 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 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
