The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Originally from Córdoba, where he was born on Passover Eve of 1135 or 1138, his family was exiled from Muslim-ruled Spain when they refused to convert to Islam shortly after the Almohad Caliphate conquered the Almoravid dynasty in 1148.
- Over the course of the next two decades, Maimonides resided in Fez, Acre, Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Cairo before finally settling in Fustat between 1168 and 1171.
- During this period, he advanced his vocations and became renowned for his achievements as an astronomer, philosopher, and physician, even being appointed to serve as personal physician to Saladin of the Ayyubid Sultanate.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Maimonides article was read about 360,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
