The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature.
- The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars, the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between AD 975 and 1025.
- Scholars call the anonymous author the "Beowulf poet".
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Beowulf article was read about 900,000 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 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
