- It is regarded as a classic work on aesthetics and the effects of good writing.
- The treatise highlights examples of good and bad writing from the previous millennium, focusing particularly on what may lead to the sublime.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The On the Sublime article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
