The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- One-way pagers can only receive messages, while response pagers and two-way pagers can also acknowledge, reply to, and originate messages using an internal transmitter.
- Pagers operate as part of a paging system which includes one or more fixed transmitters, as well as a number of pagers carried by mobile users.
- These systems can range from a restaurant system with a single low power transmitter, to a nationwide system with thousands of high-power base stations.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pager article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Pager
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.
