Profanity, a Rare card
Profanity, also known as swearing, cursing, or cussing, is the usage of notionally offensive words for a variety of purposes, including to demonstrate disrespect or negativity, to relieve pain, to express a strong emotion, as a grammatical intensifier or emphasis, or to express informality or conversational intimacy.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In many formal or polite social situations, it is considered impolite, and in some religious groups it is considered a sin.
- Profanity includes slurs, but most profanities are not slurs, and there are many insults that do not use swear words.
- Swear words can be discussed or even sometimes used for the same purpose without causing offense or being considered impolite if they are obscured or substituted with a minced oath like "flip".
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Profanity article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
