The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the only named sea without land boundaries.
- It is distinguished from other parts of the Atlantic Ocean by its characteristic brown Sargassum seaweed and calm blue waters.
- The sea is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the east by the Canary Current, and on the south by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current, the four together forming a clockwise-circulating system of ocean currents termed the North Atlantic Gyre.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Sargasso Sea article was read about 420,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
