The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The basic arrangement results in pulling the hauling end 3 times the distance the load is moved, providing a theoretical mechanical advantage of three to one.
- In actual practice the advantage will be reduced by friction in the pulleys or carabiners.
- The advantage will also be reduced if the pull on the hauling end is not parallel to the direction the load moves in.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Z-drag article was read about 5,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 44 and blocks with 24: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
