The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- An antique is usually an item that is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection, or other unique features.
- It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human history.
- Vintage and collectible are used to describe items that are old, but do not meet the 100-year criterion.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Antique article was read about 40,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Antique
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.
