The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The extent of the region referred to as Khorasan varied over time.
- In its stricter historical sense, it comprised mostly of Afghanistan, the present territories of northeastern Iran and southern parts of Central Asia, extending as far as the Amu Darya river.
- However, the name has often been used in a loose sense to include a wider region that included most of Transoxiana, extended westward to the Caspian coast and to the Dasht-e Kavir southward to Sistan, and eastward to the Pamir Mountains.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Khorasan article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
