Roentgen, an Uncommon card

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In 1928, it was adopted as the first international measurement quantity for ionizing radiation to be defined for radiation protection, as it was then the most easily replicated method of measuring air ionization by using ion chambers.
- It is named after the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays and was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery.
- However, although this was a major step forward in standardising radiation measurement, the roentgen has the disadvantage that it is only a measure of air ionisation, and not a direct measure of radiation absorption in other materials, such as different forms of human tissue.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Roentgen article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
