The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His death, which occurred on his 32nd birthday, is seen as an act of self-sacrifice when, aware that the gangrene and frostbite from which he was suffering was compromising his three companions' chances of survival, he chose certain death for himself to relieve them of the burden of caring for him.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lawrence Oates article was read about 93,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
