The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the Mediterranean Basin, triggered by the emergence of the Roman Republic as a great power with its defeat of Carthage in the First Punic War.
- Revanchism prevailed in Carthage, symbolized by the pledge that Hannibal made to his father to "never be a friend of Rome".
- In 218 BC Hannibal attacked Saguntum, an ally of Rome in Hispania, and this attack sparked the Second Punic War.
Why it is Legendary

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
