The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It occurs annually on the tenth of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar.
- For Shia Muslims, Ashura is a day of mourning as they annually commemorate the death of Husayn, grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia Imam.
- Husayn's suffering and martyrdom are viewed by Muslims a symbol of sacrifice in the struggle for right against wrong, and for justice and truth against injustice and falsehood.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ashura article was read about 490,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
