The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its usefulness derives from its relatively low melting temperature.
- The alloying elements determine the form in which its carbon appears: white cast iron has its carbon combined into the iron carbide compound cementite, which is very hard, but brittle, as it allows cracks to pass straight through, grey cast iron has graphite flakes which deflect a passing crack and initiate countless new cracks as the material breaks, and ductile cast iron has spherical graphite…
- Carbon, ranging from 1.8 to 4% by weight, and silicon, 1–3% by weight, are the main alloying elements of cast iron.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cast iron article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
