The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This is in contrast to pleasure craft, which are used for personal recreation, and naval ships, which are used for military purposes.
- They come in myriad sizes and shapes, from six-metre inflatable dive boats in Hawaii, to 5,000-passenger and more casino vessels on the Mississippi River, to tugboats plying New York Harbor, to 300-metre oil tankers and container ships at major ports, to passenger-carrying submarines in the Caribbean.
- Many merchant ships operate under a "flag of convenience" from a country other than the home of the vessel's owners, such as Liberia and Panama, which have more favorable maritime laws than other countries.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Merchant ship article was read about 49,000 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 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
