The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Depreciation is thus the decrease in the value of assets and the method used to reallocate, or "write down" the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life span.
- Businesses depreciate long-term assets for both accounting and tax purposes.
- The decrease in value of the asset affects the balance sheet of a business or entity, and the method of depreciating the asset, accounting-wise, affects the net income, and thus the income statement that they report.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Depreciation article was read about 59,000 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 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Depreciation
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.
