The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.
- In vertebrates, hepatic cells typically produce the greatest amounts of it.
- In the brain, astrocytes produce cholesterol and transport it to neurons.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cholesterol article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Cholesterol
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.
