The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- When worn, the square was placed on top of the judicial wig, with one of the four corners of the fabric facing forward.
- The cap is based on Tudor court styles.
- Originally, the cap was a normal part of judicial full dress, as worn by judges on all especially formal or solemn occasions, of which passing a death sentence was just one.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Black cap article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
