The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The dry, sparsely populated valley is named after the apparently paradoxical course of the Dolores River, instead of flowing down the length of the valley, the river cuts across the middle and through the sheer walls of large mesas on either side.
- The valley is the site of a Bureau of Reclamation salinity-control project which has caused thousands of earthquakes, and is the proposed location of a new uranium mill which would be the first built in the United States in over 25 years.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Paradox Valley article was read about 6,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
