The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is analogous to other traditional materia medica systems.
- The term herbology is misleading in the sense that, while plant elements are by far the most commonly used substances, animal, human, and mineral products are also used, some of which are poisonous.
- In the Huangdi Neijing they are referred to as 毒藥 which means "poison-medicine".
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Chinese herbology article was read about 37,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Chinese herbology
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.
