The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In its simplest form, it consists of a spool attached to a hand crank.
- Traditionally, winches on ships accumulated wire or rope on the drum, those that do not accumulate, and instead pass on the wire/rope, are called capstans.
- Despite this, sailboat capstans are most often referred to as winches.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Winch article was read about 39,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Winch
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.
