The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The original document is scanned with a fax machine, which processes the contents as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones.
- The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy.
- Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fax article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Fax
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.
