The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The imperial system developed from earlier English units as did the related but differing system of customary units of the United States.
- The imperial units replaced the Winchester Standards, which were in effect from 1588 to 1825.
- The system came into official use across the British Empire in 1826.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Imperial units article was read about 290,000 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 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Imperial units
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.
