The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term differentiates a telephone service from the now ubiquitous Wireless service.
- It is loosely described as plain old telephone service.
- Landline services are traditionally provided via the outside plant of a telephone company, consisting of analogue copper wire originating from a telephone company's central office, or wirecenter.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Landline article was read about 48,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Landline
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.
