- It is also called a tetragon, derived from Greek "tetra" meaning "four" and "gon" meaning "corner" or "angle", in analogy to other polygons.
- Since "gon" means "angle", it is analogously called a quadrangle, or 4-angle.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Quadrilateral article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
