The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is best known for his biography of the English writer Samuel Johnson, Life of Samuel Johnson, which is commonly said to be the greatest biography written in the English language.
- A great mass of Boswell's diaries, letters, and private papers were recovered from the 1920s to the 1950s, and their publication by Yale University significantly elevated his standing among modern scholars.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The James Boswell article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
