The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A person in a state of TGA exhibits no other signs of impaired cognitive functioning but recalls only the last few moments of consciousness and, possibly, a few deeply encoded facts of the individual's past e.g., their childhood, family, or home.
- Both TGA and anterograde amnesia deal with disruptions of short-term memory.
- However, a TGA episode generally lasts no more than 2 to 8 hours before the patient returns to normal with the ability to form new memories.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Transient global amnesia article was read about 62,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
