The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It uses encryption for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet.
- In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security or, formerly, Secure Sockets Layer.
- The protocol is therefore also referred to as HTTP over TLS, or HTTP over SSL.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The HTTPS article was read about 520,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get HTTPS
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.
