The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The tradition of writing études emerged in the early 19th century with the rapidly growing popularity of the piano.
- Of the vast number of études from that era, some are still used as teaching material, and a few, by major composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt and Claude Debussy, achieved a place in today's concert repertory.
- Études written in the 20th century include those related to traditional ones and those that require wholly unorthodox technique.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Étude article was read about 65,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Étude
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.
