The facts on the card

- Typically, estimation involves "using the value of a statistic derived from a sample to estimate the value of a corresponding population parameter".
- The sample provides information that can be projected, through various formal or informal processes, to determine a range most likely to describe the missing information.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Estimation article was read about 16,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
How to get Estimation
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.
