The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In pan-Indian traditions, a guru is more than a teacher: traditionally, the guru is a reverential figure to the disciple or student, with the guru serving as a "counsellor, who helps mould values, shares experiential knowledge as much as literal knowledge, an exemplar in life, an inspirational source and who helps in the spiritual evolution of a student".
- Many spiritual texts are written in a language which is not commonly understood by masses, or sometimes the scriptures present contradictory concepts.
- Hence, only a qualified teacher or the guru is required to interpret scriptures in the right context and avoid misunderstandings.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Guru 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 82 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Guru
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.
