The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are sometimes exposed at the surface, but often they are buried under miles of rock and sediment.
- The basement rocks lie below a sedimentary platform or cover, or more generally any rock below sedimentary rocks or sedimentary basins that are metamorphic or igneous in origin.
- In the same way, the sediments or sedimentary rocks on top of the basement can be called a "cover" or "sedimentary cover".
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Basement article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Basement
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.
