The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A large share of its claims are pseudoscientific, with the majority of treatments having no robust evidence of effectiveness or logical mechanism of action.
- Some TCM ingredients are known to be toxic and cause disease, including cancer.
- Medicine in traditional China encompassed a range of sometimes competing health and healing practices, folk beliefs, literati theory, Taoist and Confucian philosophy, herbal remedies, food, diet, exercise, medical specializations, and schools of thought.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Traditional Chinese medicine article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 96 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
