The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Goblins are believed to dwell in subterranean areas or households, where they engage in acts ranging from pranks to murder.
- Their etymology derives from Old French gobelin, possibly linked to Medieval Latin gobelinus or Greek kobalos, though some scholars trace it to earlier domestic protector spirits like the Germanic kobold, which were later demonized under Christian influence.
- Similar creatures include brownies, dwarves, duendes, gnomes, imps, leprechauns, and kobolds, but it is also commonly used as a blanket term for all small, fay creatures.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Goblin article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Goblin
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.
