The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- Although the base language of the novel is English, it is an English that Joyce modified by combining and altering words from many languages into his own distinctive idiom.
- Some commentators believe this technique was Joyce's attempt to reproduce the way that memories, people, and places are mixed together and transformed in a dreaming or half-awakened state.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Finnegans Wake article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
