The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is considered one of the most influential books ever published.
- Printed in folio format and containing 36 of Shakespeare's plays, it was prepared by Shakespeare's colleagues John Heminges and Henry Condell.
- It was dedicated to the "incomparable pair of brethren" William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, and his brother Philip Herbert, Earl of Montgomery.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The First Folio article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get First Folio
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.
