The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was also an important patron for the new generation of Augustan poets, including both Horace and Virgil.
- In many languages, his name is an eponym for "patron of arts".
- During the reign of Augustus, Maecenas served as a quasi-culture minister to the Roman emperor but in spite of his wealth and power he chose not to enter the Senate, remaining of equestrian rank.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gaius Maecenas article was read about 47,000 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 %.
