The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A by-product can be useful and marketable or it can be considered waste: for example, bran, which is a byproduct of the milling of wheat into refined flour, is sometimes composted or burned for disposal, but in other cases, it can be used as a nutritious ingredient in human food or animal feed.
- Gasoline was once a byproduct of oil refining that later became a desirable commercial product as motor fuel.
- The plastic used in plastic shopping bags also started as a by-product of oil refining.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The By-product article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 47 and blocks with 18: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
How to get By-product
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.
