The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Carcinogens can include synthetic chemicals, naturally occurring substances, physical agents such as ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and biologic agents such as viruses and bacteria.
- Most carcinogens act by creating mutations in DNA that disrupt a cell's normal processes for regulating growth, leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation.
- This occurs when the cell's DNA repair processes fail to identify DNA damage, allowing the defect to be passed down to daughter cells.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Carcinogen article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
