- The noggin was first mentioned in the mid 17th century, initially as the cup, and later coming to mean a quarter of a pint equal to a gill.
- Its use later spread to North America.
- The origin of the name is not certain, but probably derives from nog, a strong type of ale brewed in Norfolk, England.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Noggin article was read about 5,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 30 and blocks with 23: each hit it takes is cut by 9 %.
How to get Noggin
