The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Conceived as a defense against nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles, its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles.
- China, France, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Russia, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States have all developed such air defense systems.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Missile defense article was read about 68,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
