The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- M. leprae, the bacterium responsible for leprosy, is believed to have spread from East Africa through the Near East, Europe, and Asia by the 5th century before reaching the rest of the world during the Columbian Exchange.
- Historically, leprosy was believed to be extremely contagious and divinely ordained, leading to enormous stigma against its sufferers.
- Other severe skin diseases were frequently conflated with leprosy and all such sufferers were kept away from the general public, although some religious orders provided medical care and treatment.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Leper colony article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
