The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Concrete is strong under compression, but has low tensile strength.
- Rebar usually consists of steel bars which significantly increase the tensile strength of the structure.
- Rebar surfaces feature a continuous series of ribs, lugs or indentations to promote a better bond with the concrete and reduce the risk of slippage.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Rebar article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
