Ubuntu, a Common card
Ubuntu is an OpenType-based font family, designed to be a modern, humanist-style typeface by London-based type foundry Dalton Maag, with funding by Canonical Ltd. The font was under development for nearly nine months, with only a limited initial release through a beta program, until September 2010.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It then became the new default font of the Ubuntu operating system in Ubuntu 10.10.
- Its designers include Vincent Connare, creator of the Comic Sans and Trebuchet MS fonts.
- The Ubuntu font family is licensed under the Ubuntu Font Licence.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ubuntu article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Ubuntu
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.
