The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from inferences by his employers or from fellow engineers that he was "not a serious person" or from potentially adverse publicity in connection with his novels, which included On the Beach and A Town Like Alice.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nevil Shute article was read about 93,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
