The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Illusions come in a wide variety, their categorization is difficult because the underlying cause is often not clear but a classification proposed by Richard Gregory is useful as an orientation.
- According to that, there are three main classes: physical, physiological, and cognitive illusions, and in each class there are four kinds: Ambiguities, distortions, paradoxes, and fictions.
- A classical example for a physical distortion would be the apparent bending of a stick half immersed in water, an example for a physiological paradox is the motion aftereffect.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Optical illusion article was read about 86,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
