The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is in the orthorhombic crystal system, with three directions of perfect cleavage parallel to the three planes of symmetry.
- It is not isomorphous with the orthorhombic barium and strontium sulfates, as might be expected from the chemical formulas.
- Distinctly developed crystals are somewhat rare, the mineral usually presenting the form of cleavage masses.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Anhydrite article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Anhydrite
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.
