The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Bi's system used fired clay tiles, one for each Chinese character, and was invented between 1039 and 1048.
- Printing was one of the Four Great Inventions.
- Because Bi was a commoner, not an educated person, little is known about his life besides this invention.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bi Sheng article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get Bi Sheng
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.
