Iconography, an Uncommon card
Iconography, as a branch of art history, studies the identification, description and interpretation of the content of images: the subjects depicted, the particular compositions and details used to do so, and other elements that are distinct from artistic style.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The word iconography comes from the Greek εἰκών and γράφειν.
- A secondary meaning is the production or study of the religious images, called "icons", in the Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition.
- This usage is mostly found in works translated from languages such as Greek or Russian, with the correct term being "icon painting".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Iconography article was read about 63,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Iconography
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.
