- The play was generally about a single topic, the meddah playing different characters, and was usually introduced by drawing attention to the moral contained in the story.
- The meddah would use props such as an umbrella, a handkerchief, or different headwear, to signal a change of character, and was skilled at manipulating his voice and imitating different dialects.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Meddah article was read about 2,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 27: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
