The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It resulted in victory for the Frankish and Aquitanian forces, led by Charles Martel, over the invading Umayyad forces, led by Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi, governor of al-Andalus.
- Many historians, including Edward Gibbon, have credited the Christian victory as an important factor in curtailing the spread of Islam in Western Europe.
- Details of the battle, including the number of combatants and its exact location, are unclear from the surviving sources.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Battle of Tours article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
