The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Archaic expansion differed from the Iron Age migrations of the Greek Dark Ages, in that it consisted of organised direction by oikistes away from the originating metropolis rather than the simplistic movement of tribes, which characterised the aforementioned earlier migrations.
- Many colonies, or apoikiai (Greek: ἀποικία, transl.
- "home away from home"), that were founded during this period eventually evolved into strong Greek city-states, functioning independently of their metropolis.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Greek colonisation article was read about 93,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
