The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Yajna has been a Vedic tradition, described in a layer of Vedic literature called the Brahmanas, as well as in the Yajurveda.
- The tradition has evolved from offering oblations and libations into sacred fire to symbolic offerings in the presence of said sacred fire.
- Texts related to Yajna rituals have been called the Karma-kanda portion of the Vedic literature, in contrast to the Jnana-kanda portion found in the Vedic Upanishads.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Yajna article was read about 53,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Yajna
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.
