The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It also refers to the collection and appreciation of stamps and other philatelic products.
- While closely associated with stamp collecting and the study of postage, it is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps.
- For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare or reside only in museums.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Philately article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.

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.
