The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was originally used by Francis Gillen, adopted by his colleague Walter Baldwin Spencer, and thereafter popularised by A. P. Elkin, who later revised his views.
- The Dreaming is used to represent Aboriginal concepts of what anthropologist W.E.H. Stanner called "everywhen", during which the land was inhabited and created by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions or with supernatural abilities.
- The meaning and significance of specific places and creatures are wedded to their origin in the Dreaming, and certain locations have a distinct potency, such as Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Wollumbin, and Baiame Cave.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The The Dreaming article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
