Why it is Uncommon

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Poul Anderson article was read about 73,000 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 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
