The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The American physicist Murray Gell-Mann and the Israeli physicist Yuval Ne'eman independently and simultaneously proposed the idea in 1961.
- The name comes from Gell-Mann's paper, "The Eightfold Way: A theory of strong interaction symmetry." It is an allusion to the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism and was meant to be a joke.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Eightfold way 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 64 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
