The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Maya Jaggi, writing for The Guardian stated "He led a modernist revolution in the second half of the 20th century, "exerting a seismic influence" on Arabic poetry comparable to T. S. Eliot's in the anglophone world." Adonis's publications include twenty volumes of poetry and thirteen of criticism.
- His dozen books of translation to Arabic include the poetry of Saint-John Perse and Yves Bonnefoy, and the first complete Arabic translation of Ovid's "Metamorphoses".
- His multi-volume anthology of Arabic poetry, covering almost two millennia of verse, has been in print since its publication in 1964.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Adonis article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
