The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The title is commonly applied more broadly to all officers of arms.
- Heralds were originally messengers sent by monarchs or noblemen to convey messages or proclamations, in this sense being the predecessors of modern diplomats.
- Like other officers of arms, a herald would often wear a surcoat, called a tabard, decorated with the coat of arms of his master.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Herald article was read about 74,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Herald
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.
