The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It consists of one or more conductors suspended by towers or poles.
- Since the surrounding air provides good cooling and insulation along long passages and allows optical inspection, overhead power lines are generally the lowest-cost method of power transmission for large quantities of electric energy.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Overhead power line article was read about 60,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
