The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Along with his father-in-law Germanus, he was briefly proposed as successor to Maurice by the troops, but the army eventually favoured Phocas instead.
- Sent in an abortive mission to secure aid from Sassanid Persia by his father, Theodosius was said to have been captured and executed by Phocas's supporters a few days after Maurice.
- Nevertheless, rumours spread that he had survived the execution, and became popular to the extent that a man who purported to be Theodosius was entertained by the Persians as a pretext for launching a war against Byzantium.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Theodosius article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
