The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His original works, including the Babyloniaca, are lost, but fragments survive in some quotations, largely in the writings of the fourth-century AD early Christian writer Eusebius.
- Berossus has recently been identified with Bēl-reʾû-šunu, a high priest of the Esagila Temple in the city of Babylon, as mentioned in a document from 258 BC.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Berossus article was read about 25,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
