The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Though Magellan-Elcano, Loaísa, Drake, and Loyola had all preceded him in circumnavigating the globe, Cavendish's own successful voyage, between 1586 and 1588, was the first deliberately planned circumnavigation.
- It made him rich from captured Spanish gold, silk, and treasure from the Pacific and the Philippines, with his richest prize being the 600-ton Manila galleon Santa Ana.
- He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I of England after his return.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Thomas Cavendish article was read about 22,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
