The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports, art, science, and religions.
- They often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, sudoku puzzles, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.
- Most newspapers are businesses, and they pay their expenses with a mixture of subscription revenue, newsstand sales, and advertising revenue.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Newspaper article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Newspaper
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.
