The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the ancient world, for example, the standard notebook or school exercise book often took the form of a diptych: two plates with recessed surfaces filled with wax.
- Writing was done by scratching the wax surface with a stylus.
- When the notes were no longer needed, the wax could be gently heated and smoothed for reuse.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Diptych article was read about 62,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Diptych
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.
