The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- An enigmatic figure, Socrates authored no texts and is known mainly through the posthumous accounts of classical writers, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon.
- These accounts are written as dialogues, in which Socrates and his interlocutors examine a subject in the style of question and answer, they gave rise to the Socratic dialogue literary genre.
- Contradictory accounts of Socrates make a reconstruction of his philosophy nearly impossible, a situation known as the Socratic problem.
Why it is Legendary

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
