The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Generally, the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation.
- Citations have several important purposes.
- While their uses for upholding intellectual honesty and bolstering claims are typically foregrounded in teaching materials and style guides, correct attribution of insights to previous sources is just one of these purposes.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Citation article was read about 66,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Citation
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.
