The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Beginning on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah lasts for eight nights and days.
- Each night is marked by lighting a Hanukkah menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum containing spaces for eight ceremonial lights plus one additional candle, the shámash, which is used to light the others.
- Aside from the shamash, one candle is lit on the first night, two on the second, and so on, until all eight are burning together on the final night.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hanukkah article was read about 1,100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
