The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Raised in Winnipeg, McLuhan studied at the University of Manitoba and the University of Cambridge.
- He began his teaching career as a professor of English at several universities in the United States and Canada before moving to the University of Toronto in 1946, where he remained for the rest of his life.
- He is known as "the father of media studies".
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Marshall McLuhan article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
