The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by the Southern Ocean, it contains the geographic South Pole.
- Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, being about 40% larger than Europe, and has an area of 14,200,000 km2.
- Most of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of 1.9 km.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antarctica article was read about 1,300,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 91 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get Antarctica
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.
