- It was developed by Philips, Pioneer, and the movie studio MCA.

Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The LaserDisc article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get LaserDisc
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.
