The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The format was specified and the devices were first manufactured by SanDisk in 1994.
- CompactFlash became one of the most successful of the early memory card formats, surpassing Miniature Card and SmartMedia.
- Subsequent formats, such as MMC/SD, various Memory Stick formats, and xD-Picture Card offered stiff competition.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The CompactFlash article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get CompactFlash
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.
