The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The novel is a satire of outlandish tales that had been reported in ancient sources, particularly those that presented fantastic or mythical events as if they were true.
- It is Lucian's best-known work.
- It is the earliest known work of fiction to include travel to outer space, alien lifeforms, and interplanetary warfare.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The A True Story article was read about 78,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get A True Story
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
