The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may have taken place on a plain east of Alcalá del Río, Seville, Spain, near the village of Esquivel, the site of the Carthaginian camp.
- Though it may not seem to be as original as Hannibal's tactic at Cannae, Scipio's pre-battle maneuver and his reverse Cannae formation stands as the acme of his tactical ability, in which he permanently broke the Carthaginian grip and source of power in Iberia, thus denying any further land invasion into Italy and cutting off a rich base for the Barca dynasty both in silver and manpower.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Battle of Ilipa article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
