The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This makes excise different from a sales tax or value-added tax or from customs duties.
- An excise is considered an indirect tax, meaning that the producer or seller who pays the levy to the government is expected to try to recover their loss by raising the price paid by the eventual buyer of the goods.
- Excise is thus a tax that relates to a quantity, not a value, as opposed to the value-added tax which concerns the value of a good or service.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Excise article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Excise
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.
