The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Most solar calendars, such as the Gregorian and Julian calendars, begin the year regularly at or near the northern winter solstice.
- In contrast, cultures and religions that observe a lunisolar or lunar calendar celebrate their Lunar New Year at varying points relative to the solar year.
- In pre-Christian Rome, under the Julian calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, god of gateways and beginnings, for whom January is also named.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The New Year's Day article was read about 510,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get New Year's Day
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.
