The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Originating approximately 3,000 years ago, its function is essentially the same in systems across Asia and North Africa, but it is known by a variety of regional names beyond modern Iran, including: kārēz in Afghanistan and Pakistan, foggāra in Algeria, khettāra in the Atlas Mountains, the daoudi-type falaj in Oman and the United Arab Emirates, and ʿuyūn in Saudi Arabia.
- In addition to those in Iran, the largest extant and functional qanats are located in Afghanistan, Xinjiang in China, Oman, and Pakistan.
- Qanat-style systems were also introduced to parts of Europe under the Roman Empire and were later implemented on a larger scale in Muslim-ruled Spain.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Qanat article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
