The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It describes the narrator's repressed feelings of anger towards an individual, emotions which eventually lead to murder.
- The poem explores themes of indignation, revenge and, more generally, the fallen state of mankind.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The A Poison Tree article was read about 38,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 40: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
