The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It originated and was popular in European countries such as England, France and Germany, and several Balkan states.
- The headpiece was made out of a thick, circular roll of material like wool, felt or silk.
- The material was shaped, by sewing or starching, into a double-horned configuration, with each horn sometimes being up to a yard long.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Escoffion article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
