The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.
- These were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities.
- The theory states that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnection, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals and self-organization.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Chaos theory article was read about 450,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Chaos theory
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.
