The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Calorimetry is performed with a calorimeter.
- Scottish physician and scientist Joseph Black, who was the first to recognize the distinction between heat and temperature, is said to be the founder of the science of calorimetry.
- Indirect calorimetry calculates heat that living organisms produce by measuring either their production of carbon dioxide and nitrogen waste, or from their consumption of oxygen.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Calorimetry article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Calorimetry
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.
