The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used as an indicator of the processor speed.
- Clock rate is measured in the SI unit of frequency hertz.
- The clock rate of the first generation of computers was measured in hertz or kilohertz, the first personal computers from the 1970s through the 1980s had clock rates measured in megahertz.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Clock rate article was read about 47,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Clock rate
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.
