The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Articulations primarily structure an event's start and end, determining the length of its sound and the shape of its attack and decay.
- They can also modify an event's timbre, dynamics, and pitch.
- Musical articulation is analogous to the articulation of speech, and during the Baroque and Classical periods it was taught by comparison to oratory.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Articulation article was read about 25,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Articulation
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.
