The facts on the card

- A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system.
- In a Euclidean space, any translation is an isometry.
- A translation is an isometry that displaces the original figure according to a direction, a sense, and a length.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Translation article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Translation
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.
