The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The cardinal number associated with a set A is generally denoted by | A | , with a vertical bar on each side, though it may also be denoted by A, card , or # A. Cardinality is defined in terms of bijective functions.
- Two sets have the same cardinality if, and only if, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets.
- The cardinality of a finite set can be identified with a natural number, which can be found simply by counting its elements.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cardinal number article was read about 79,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Cardinal number
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.
