The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity.
- This article deals only with wind power for electricity generation.
- Today, wind power is generated almost completely using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Wind power article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Wind power
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.
