The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In his writings, Guénon proposes to hand down eastern metaphysics and traditions, these doctrines being defined by him as of "universal character", and adapt them to western readers "while keeping strictly faithful to their spirit".
- Initiated into Islamic esotericism from as early as 1910 when he was 24, Guénon mainly wrote and published in French, and his works have been translated into more than twenty languages, he also wrote in Arabic an article for the journal Al Marifah.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The René Guénon 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 87 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
