Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Weight article was read about 81,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Weight
