The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It encompasses both hardware and software, including communication protocols.
- At its core, a bus is a shared physical pathway, typically composed of wires or traces on a circuit board, that allows multiple devices to communicate.
- Unlike networks, which route addressed packets across switches, buses use arbitration protocols to manage which device can transmit data over the shared pathway.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bus article was read about 90,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Bus
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.
