The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term was coined by Jewish writer Philo of Alexandria as a compound of the Greek words πολύ and θεός to argue with the Greeks, though was in modern times re-popularised by Jean Bodin in the 16th century and then by Samuel Purchas in 1614.
- Oftentimes, polytheistic religions reflect belief in a pantheon of deities that may themselves have religious sects and rituals dedicated to them.
- These deities can also be representations of natural forces or ancestral principles, they can be viewed either as autonomous, or as emanations of a greater deity or transcendental absolute being, in either case manifesting immanently in nature.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Polytheism article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
