Dario Amodei. Dario Amodei 3,300,000 · Ultra HD Blu-ray 190,000 · Baryon 130,000 · Antigen 71,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Protons and neutrons are examples of baryons, because baryons are composed of quarks, they belong to the hadron family of particles.
- Baryons are also classified as fermions because they have half-integer spin.
- The name "baryon", introduced by Abraham Pais, comes from the Greek word for "heavy", because, at the time of their naming, most known elementary particles had lower masses than the baryons.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Baryon article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Baryon
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.
