The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The word laser originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
- The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles H. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow and the optical amplifier patented by Gordon Gould.
- A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light that is coherent.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Laser article was read about 380,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Laser
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.
