The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is known for shooting an apple off his son's head.
- According to the legend, Tell was an expert mountain climber and marksman with a crossbow who assassinated Albrecht Gessler, a tyrannical reeve of the Austrian dukes of the House of Habsburg positioned in Altdorf, in the canton of Uri.
- Tell's defiance and tyrannicide encouraged the population to open rebellion and to make a pact against the foreign rulers with neighbouring Schwyz and Unterwalden, marking the foundation of the Swiss Confederacy, of which Tell is consequently considered the father.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The William Tell article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
