The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A quack is a "fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill" or "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, qualification or credentials they do not possess, a charlatan or snake oil salesman".
- The term quack is a clipped form of the archaic term quacksalver, derived from Dutch: kwakzalver a "hawker of salve" or rather somebody who boasted about their salves, more commonly known as ointments.
- In the Middle Ages the term quack meant "shouting".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Quackery article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
