The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Managing audience attention is the aim of all theater, and the foremost requirement of all magic acts.
- Whether the magic is of a "pocket trick" variety or a large stage production, misdirection is the central secret.
- The term describes either the effect or the sleight of hand or patter that creates it.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Misdirection article was read about 11,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Misdirection
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.
