- It comes from the Anglo-Norman term for a melting-house where metal was refined, and earlier from French bouillon, "boiling".

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bullion article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
