- These different cultures and even individual philosophers had widely varying explanations concerning their attributes and how they related to observable phenomena as well as cosmology.
- Sometimes these theories overlapped with mythology and were personified in deities.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Classical element 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 75 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
