The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He patented the invention and later sold the machine under the brand name Enigma.
- Starting in 1923 the Enigma was used by the Reichswehr who began to encrypt their communications in 1930 and subsequently from March 1935, the Wehrmacht onwards to encrypt its secret communications
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Arthur Scherbius article was read about 18,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
