The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Ligatures were used in the cursive writing style and very extensively in later minuscule writing.
- There were dozens of conventional ligatures.
- Some of them stood for frequent letter combinations, some for inflectional endings of words, and some were abbreviations of entire words.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Greek ligatures article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
