The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- These alloys are formed through metallic bonding, with the electrostatic attractive force of the conduction electrons working to bind all the positively charged metal ions together into a crystal lattice structure.
- Many metals can form amalgams with mercury, with some notable exceptions including iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum.
- Gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore, and dental amalgams are made with metals such as silver, copper, indium, tin and zinc.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Amalgam article was read about 63,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
