The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was proposed as a defensive weapon that would be used in concert with the MX missile, a US Air Force ICBM that was under development.
- The LoADS concept was one of a number of proposals that were made as part of a larger and acrimonious debate over the best way to base the MX missile.
- It was believed that by about 1980 Soviet ICBMs would improve to the point where it was possible to attack US ICBMs while they were still in their silos.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Sentry program article was read about 4,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
