The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It tells the adventures of two giants, Gargantua and his son Pantagruel.
- The work is written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein, features much erudition, vulgarity, and wordplay, and is regularly compared with the works of William Shakespeare and James Joyce.
- Rabelais was a polyglot, and the work introduced "a great number of new and difficult words... into the French language".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gargantua and Pantagruel article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
