The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are approximately 300,000 native speakers of Pennsylvania Dutch in the United States and Canada.
- The language traditionally has been spoken by the Pennsylvania Dutch, who are descendants of late 17th- and early to late 18th-century immigrants to Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina, who arrived primarily from southern Germany and, to a lesser degree, the regions of Alsace and Lorraine in eastern France, and parts of Switzerland.
- Differing explanations exist on why the Pennsylvania Dutch are referred to as Dutch, which typically refers to the inhabitants of the Netherlands or the Dutch language, only distantly related to Pennsylvania German.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
