The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was invented and patented by Morgan O'Brien before the war.
- O'Brien developed a sophisticated cipher typewriter, which was complex and delicate, but then came up with the relatively simple device adopted by the military that was known the SYKO.
- Although the German cryptanalysts managed to break the SYKO code, it remained in use for much of the war as a quick method for low-level encoding of radio traffic, particularly from aircraft.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Syko Cipher Device article was read about 680 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
