The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The train is a Siemens Velaro model, which in turn is based on the ICE 3M/F high-speed trains manufactured by Siemens Mobility for Russian Railways.
- The trains started regular service on the Saint Petersburg–Moscow Railway in December 2009, at a maximum speed of 250 km/h and journey time of four hours between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
- On 22 March 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Siemens suspended its contract to supply additional trainsets, as well as announcing it would end maintenance and other services from 13 May 2022, with Russian Railways stepping in to continue their maintenance.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Sapsan article was read about 37,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
