The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In literature, the style originates with the 1857 publication of Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal.
- The works of Edgar Allan Poe, which Baudelaire admired greatly and translated into French, were a significant influence and the source of many stock tropes and images.
- The aesthetic was developed by Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine during the 1860s and 1870s.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Symbolism article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
