The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The surface water is, for the most part, at the same elevation on both sides and can flow through the strait in either direction, although the topography generally constricts the flow somewhat.
- In some straits, there is a dominant directional current.
- Most commonly, the strait is a narrow channel that lies between two land masses.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Strait article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
How to get Strait
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
