The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Predictions are often, but not always, based upon experience or knowledge of forecasters.
- There is no universal agreement about the exact difference between "prediction" and "estimation", different authors and disciplines ascribe different connotations.
- Future events are necessarily uncertain, so guaranteed accurate information about the future is impossible.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Prediction article was read about 70,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Prediction
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.
