The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Born in Ta'if, Mukhtar moved to Iraq at a young age and grew up in Kufa.
- Following the death of Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, at the hands of the Umayyad army in the Battle of Karbala in 680, Mukhtar captured Kufa in October 685 after expelling its governor Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, and killed several figures responsible for Husayn's death, including Umar ibn Sa'd, Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, and Shimr ibn Dhi al-Jawshan.
- He then allied with the rival caliph Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr in Mecca, but the alliance was short-lived.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
