The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community, his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society.
- Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison.
- It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "father of English geology".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The William Smith article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
