The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It lies below the lithosphere, at a depth between c. 80 and 200 km below the surface, and extends as deep as 700 km.
- However, the lower boundary of the asthenosphere is not well defined.
- The asthenosphere is almost solid, but a slight amount of melting contributes to its mechanical weakness.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Asthenosphere article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.

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.
