The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He has been designated as "Father of Islamic Neoplatonism", and the "Founder of Islamic Political Philosophy".
- Al-Farabi's fields of philosophical interest included, but were not limited to, philosophy of society and religion, philosophy of language and logic, psychology and epistemology, metaphysics, political philosophy, and ethics.
- He was an expert in both practical musicianship and music theory, and although he was not intrinsically a scientist, his works incorporate astronomy, mathematics, cosmology, and physics.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Al-Farabi article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Al-Farabi
