The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Although now known as a Christmas gift-bringer, and typically considered to be synonymous with Santa Claus, he was originally part of a much older and unrelated English folkloric tradition.
- The recognisably modern figure of the English Father Christmas developed in the late Victorian period, but Christmas had been personified for centuries before then.
- English personifications of Christmas were first recorded in the 15th century, with Father Christmas himself first appearing in the mid 17th century in the aftermath of the English Civil War.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Father Christmas article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
