The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The immediate issue was the Chinese enforcement of their ban on the opium trade by seizing private opium stocks from mainly British merchants at Guangzhou and threatening to impose the death penalty for future offenders.
- Despite the opium ban, the British government supported the merchants' demand for compensation for seized goods, and insisted on the principles of free trade and equal diplomatic recognition with China.
- Opium was Britain's single most profitable commodity trade of the 19th century.
Why it is Rare

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 93 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
