The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Publishers purchase or receive ISBNs from an affiliate of the International ISBN Agency.
- An ISBN cannot be used as a generic identifier for a work or title.
- A different ISBN is assigned to each separate edition and variation of a publication, but not to a simple reprinting of an existing item.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The ISBN article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get ISBN
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.
