The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The lives are arranged in pairs to illuminate the common moral virtues or failings of their subjects.
- The surviving Parallel Lives consists of 23 pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman whose lives Plutarch viewed as similar, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero.
- There are also four singular Lives, recounting the stories of Artaxerxes, Aratus, Galba, and Otho.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Parallel Lives article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
