- This registry includes all substances described since 1957, plus some substances from as far back as the early 1800s.
- It is a chemical database that includes organic and inorganic compounds, minerals, isotopes, alloys, mixtures, and nonstructurable materials.
- CAS RNs are generally serial numbers, so they do not contain any information about the structures themselves the way SMILES and InChI strings do.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The CAS Registry Number article was read about 72,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get CAS Registry 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.
