The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It received enormous popular attention but according to historian Richard J. Evans, "enjoyed only a brief vogue before disappearing into the obscurity in which it has languished".
- Toynbee's goal was to trace the development and decay of 19 or 21 world civilizations in the historical record, applying his model to each of these civilizations, detailing the stages through which they all pass: genesis, growth, time of troubles, universal state, and disintegration.
- The 19 major civilizations, as Toynbee sees them, are: Egyptian, Andean, Sumerian, Babylonic, Hittite, Minoan, Indic, Hindu, Syriac, Hellenic, Western, Orthodox Christian, Far Eastern, Islamic, Mayan, Mexican and Yucatec.
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 Study of History article was read about 34,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
