The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Repeated substance use produces long-lasting changes in brain networks involved in reward, executive function, stress reactivity and mood.
- These changes underlie both the intense drive to use a substance and the reduced capacity to control that urge.
- It is therefore understood as a brain disorder arising from a complex mix of psychosocial and neurobiological factors.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Addiction article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
