The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the sagas of Icelanders, he established a Norse settlement at Vinland, which is usually interpreted as being coastal North America.
- There is ongoing speculation that the settlement made by Leif and his crew corresponds to the remains of a Norse settlement found in Newfoundland, Canada, called L'Anse aux Meadows, which was occupied approximately 1,000 years ago.
- Leif's place of birth is unknown, although it is assumed to have been in Iceland.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Leif Erikson article was read about 700,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
