- A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy.
- Some scholars of the canonical gospels and the New Testament apply the term "parable" only to the parables of Jesus, although that is not a common restriction of the term.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Parable article was read about 93,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Parable
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.
