The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- As an academic discipline within the humanities, rhetoric aims to study the techniques that speakers or writers use to inform, persuade, and motivate their audiences.
- Rhetoric also provides heuristics for understanding, discovering, and developing arguments for particular situations.
- Aristotle defined rhetoric as "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion", and since mastery of the art was necessary for victory in a case at law, for passage of proposals in the assembly, or for fame as a speaker in civic ceremonies, he called it "a combination of the science of logic and of the ethical branch of politics".
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Rhetoric article was read about 220,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
