The facts on the card

- Its location is unknown.
- In the early days of research various unidentified mounds were considered as the location of Akkad.
- In modern times most of the attention has focused on an area roughly defined by 1) near Eshnunna, 2) near Sippar, 3) not far from Kish and Babylon, 4) near the Tigris River, and 5) not far from the Diyala River – all within roughly 30 kilometers of modern Baghdad in central Iraq.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Akkad article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 59: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Akkad
