The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are traditionally constructed out of fabric with boning made of whalebone or steel, a stiff panel in the front called a busk which holds the torso rigidly upright, and some form of lacing which allows the garment to be tightened.
- Corsets, also known as stays, were an essential undergarment in European women's fashion from the 17th century to the early 20th century.
- In the 17th and 18th centuries they had a conical, straight-sided shape.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Corset article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Corset
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.
