The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In a map projection, coordinates, often expressed as latitude and longitude, of locations from the surface of the globe are transformed to coordinates on a plane.
- Projection is a necessary step in creating a two-dimensional map and is one of the essential elements of cartography.
- All projections of a sphere to a plane necessarily distort the surface in some way.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Map projection article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Map projection
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.
