The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This process converts carbon dioxide and ribulose bisphosphate into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction: CO2 + H2O + RuBP → 3-phosphoglycerate This reaction was first discovered by Melvin Calvin, Andrew Benson and James Bassham in 1950.
- C3 carbon fixation occurs in all plants as the first step of the Calvin–Benson cycle.
- Plants that survive solely on C3 fixation tend to thrive in areas where sunlight intensity is moderate, temperatures are moderate, carbon dioxide concentrations are around 200 ppm or higher, and groundwater is plentiful.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The C3 carbon fixation article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 27: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
How to get C3 carbon fixation
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.
