The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The fire, which investigators believe was started by a cigarette or an electrical short circuit, destroyed the cathedral's wooden spire and most of the wooden roof and severely damaged the cathedral's upper walls.
- The vaulted stone ceiling largely contained the burning roof as it collapsed, preventing extensive damage to the interior.
- Many works of art and religious relics were moved to safety, but others suffered smoke damage, and some of the exterior art was damaged or destroyed.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Notre-Dame fire article was read about 300,000 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 %.
