The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It comprises three steps: 1) forming a wedge by rotating the tail of one ski outwards at an angle to the direction of movement, initiating a change in direction opposite to the stemmed ski, 2) bringing the other ski parallel to the wedged ski, and 3) completing the turn with both skis parallel as they carve an arc, sliding sideways together.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Stem christie article was read about 7,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
