The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The specific date is essentially arbitrary, but the number of printed book editions exploded in the following century, so that all incunabula, produced before the printing press became widespread in Europe, are rare, where even some early 16th-century books are relatively common.
- They are distinct from manuscripts, which are documents written by hand.
- Some authorities on the history of printing include block books from the same time period as incunabula, whereas others limit the term to works printed using movable type.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Incunable article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Incunable
