The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Ājīvika school is known for its Niyati doctrine and for the premise that there is no free will, that everything that has happened, is happening and will happen is entirely preordained and a function of cosmic principles.
- Believed to have been founded in the 5th century BCE by Makṣali Gośāla, it was a Śramaṇa movement and a major rival to other contemporary orthodox and heterodox movements within the Indian philosophical milieu. Ājīvikas were organized renunciates who formed discrete communities.
- The precise identity of the Ājīvikas is not well known, and it is even unclear if they were a divergent sect of the Buddhists or the Jains.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ājīvika article was read about 72,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Ājīvika
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.
