The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The plant grows as a clump of long, straplike leaves, up to two metres long, from which arises a much taller flowering shoot, with dramatic yellow or red flowers.
- Despite being commonly known as 'flax', harakeke is of the genus Phormium, a monocot, and is a leaf fibre, whereas flax is of the genus Linum, a rosid, and is a bast fibre.
- The two plants have an extremely distant evolutionary relationship with each other.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Phormium tenax article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
