The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Text messages may be sent over a cellular network or may also be sent via satellite or Internet connection.
- The term originally referred to messages sent using the Short Message Service on mobile devices.
- It has grown beyond alphanumeric text to include multimedia messages using the Multimedia Messaging Service and Rich Communication Services, which can contain digital images, videos, and sound content, as well as ideograms known as emoji, and on various instant messaging apps.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Text messaging article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 91 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Text messaging
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.
