The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- "PAN" is an acronym for primary account number, i.e., the "card number" on either a debit or a credit card.
- PAN truncation simply replaces the card number printed on a customer receipt with a printout of only the last four digits, the remainder being replaced usually by asterisks.
- This hides the card number from anyone who obtains the receipt when discarded, or by other means, while still allowing a card holder with multiple cards to identify which was used, and thus accurately record the transaction.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The PAN truncation article was read about 1,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 36 and blocks with 15: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
How to get PAN truncation
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.
