The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The backscatter of sunlight by interplanetary dust causes this optical phenomenon, being a zodiacal light and part of its zodiacal light band.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gegenschein article was read about 23,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get Gegenschein
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.
