The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is one of the six regular convex 4-polytopes first described by the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli in the mid-19th century.
- It is also called C16, hexadecachoron, or hexdecahedroid [sic?].
- It is the 4-dimensional member of an infinite family of polytopes called cross-polytopes, orthoplexes, or hyperoctahedrons which are analogous to the octahedron in three dimensions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The 16-cell article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get 16-cell
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.
