- The text features prophecy rooted in Jewish history as well as a portrayal of the end times that is cosmic in scope and political in its focus.
- The message of the text intended for the original audience was that just as the God of Israel saves Daniel from his enemies, so too he would save the Israelites in their present oppression.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Book of Daniel article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
