The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While any object, such as a stone, can serve as a paperweight, decorative paperweights of metal, glass, jade or other material are also produced, either by individual artisans or factories.
- In the West, decorative paperweights are usually in limited editions, and are collected as works of fine glass art, some of which are also exhibited in museums.
- First produced in about 1845, particularly in France, such decorative paperweights declined in popularity before a revival in the mid-twentieth century.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Paperweight article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Paperweight
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.
