The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- On April 8, 1982, while on sabbatical at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C., Shechtman discovered the icosahedral phase, which opened the new field of quasiperiodic crystals, also referred to as "quasicrystals." For this discovery, he was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, making him one of six Israelis who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dan Shechtman article was read about 23,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
