The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The story was first published in October 1898 by Cassell's Magazine.
- The story was also included as the eighth and last story in the collection The Amateur Cracksman, published by Methuen & Co. Ltd in London, and Charles Scribner's Sons in New York, both in 1899.
- The events in the story lead to the eventual exposure of Raffles as a thief and contribute significantly to his cynicism about British High Society.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The The Gift of the Emperor article was read about 640 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 25: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
