The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A category has two basic properties: the ability to compose the arrows associatively and the existence of an identity arrow for each object.
- A simple example is the category of sets, whose objects are sets and whose arrows are functions.
- Category theory is a branch of mathematics that seeks to generalize all of mathematics in terms of categories, independent of what their objects and arrows represent.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Category article was read about 44,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Category
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.
