The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The dictionary, which began publication in 1884, traces the historical development of the English language, providing a comprehensive resource to scholars and academic researchers, and provides ongoing descriptions of English language usage in its variations around the world.
- Work began on the dictionary in 1857, with unbound fascicles published incrementally from 1884.
- The original title was A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, Founded Mainly on the Materials Collected by The Philological Society.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Oxford English Dictionary article was read about 340,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
