Pallium, an Uncommon card
The pallium is an ecclesiastical vestment in the Catholic Church, originally peculiar to the pope, but for many centuries bestowed by the Holy See upon metropolitans and primates as a symbol of their conferred jurisdictional authorities, it remains a papal emblem.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is symbolic of the lamb which Jesus carries on his shoulders in artwork portraying him as the Good Shepherd.
- In its present form, the pallium is a long and "three fingers broad" white band adornment, woven from the wool of lambs raised by Trappist monks.
- It is donned by looping its middle around one's neck, resting upon the chasuble and two dependent lappets over one's shoulders with tail-ends on the left with the front end crossing over the rear.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pallium article was read about 71,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Pallium
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.
