Power 145 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 75 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA.
- Dictated by specific hydrogen bonding patterns, "Watson–Crick" base pairs allow the DNA helix to maintain a regular helical structure that is subtly dependent on its nucleotide sequence.
- The complementary nature of this based-paired structure provides a redundant copy of the genetic information encoded within each strand of DNA.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Base pair article was read about 77,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Base pair
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.
