Ranked #1,410 of the 3,000 cards of the base set by power (ATK + DEF).
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in metal conductors, used with a transmitter or receiver.
- In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves.
- In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of a radio wave in order to produce an electric current at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antenna article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Antenna
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.
