The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western Medieval and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts.
- Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West, and many of the most important examples are in Western, or Turkish, museums.
- Miniature painting became a significant genre in Persian art in the 13th century, receiving Chinese influence after the Mongol conquests, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
