The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term seems to have been first used by Charles Janet.
- Each block is named after its characteristic orbital: s-block, p-block, d-block, f-block and g-block.
- The block names are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the value of an electron's azimuthal quantum number: sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Block article was read about 59,000 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 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Block
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.
