The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He has been a professor of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 2003.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Peter Shor article was read about 50,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
