The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Elves appear especially in North Germanic mythology, being mentioned in the Icelandic Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda.
- In medieval Germanic-speaking cultures, elves were thought of as beings with magical powers and supernatural beauty, ambivalent towards everyday people, and capable of either helping or hindering them.
- Beliefs varied considerably over time and space and flourished in both pre-Christian and Christian cultures.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Elf article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Elf
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.
