The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Consisting of some 50,000 distichs or couplets, the Shahnameh is one of the world's longest epic poems, and the longest epic poem created by a single author.
- It tells of the mainly mythical but to some extent historical past of Iran from the creation of the world until the Muslim conquest in the seventh century.
- Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and the greater region influenced by Persian culture such as Armenia, Dagestan, Georgia, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan celebrate this national epic.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Shahnameh article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
