The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Arctic region, from the IERS Reference Meridian travelling east, consists of parts of northern Norway, northernmost Sweden, northern Finland, Russia, the United States, Canada, Danish Realm, and northern Iceland, along with the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas.
- Land within the Arctic region has seasonally varying snow and ice cover, with predominantly treeless permafrost under the tundra.
- Arctic seas contain seasonal sea ice in many places.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Arctic article was read about 320,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Arctic
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.
