The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable", made of a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay.
- Traditional animation, from cel animation to stop motion, is produced by recording each frame, or still picture, on film or digital media, and then playing the recorded frames back in rapid succession before the viewer.
- These and other moving images, from zoetrope to films and video games, create the illusion of motion by playing back at over ten to twelve frames per second.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Claymation article was read about 63,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Claymation
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.
