The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured, and the bird's rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest speed.
- Pigeon racing requires a specific breed of pigeon bred for the sport, the Racing Homer.
- Competing pigeons are specially trained and conditioned for races that vary in distance from approximately 100 kilometres to 1,000 kilometres.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pigeon racing article was read about 43,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
