The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was a younger contemporary of Virgil and Horace, with whom he is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature.
- The Imperial scholar Quintilian considered him to be the last of the Latin love elegists.
- Although Ovid enjoyed enormous popularity during his lifetime, the emperor Augustus exiled him to Tomis, the capital of the newly organized province of Moesia, on the Black Sea, where he remained for the last nine or 10 years of his life.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ovid article was read about 310,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Ovid
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.
