The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The rhyme is traditionally sung in a round.
- The song is about a friar who has overslept and is urged to wake up and sound the bell for the matins, the midnight or very early morning prayers for which a friar would be expected to be awake.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Frère Jacques article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
