The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Central to both philosophical and religious Taoism, it has been "profoundly influential" more broadly in Chinese culture, art and medicine.
- The texts' authorship and dating is debated, with several similar early versions recovered.
- Its oldest excavated manuscript fragments, the Guodian Chu slips, date to around the 300 BCE, the latter half of the Warring States period.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tao Te Ching article was read about 380,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
