The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Vegetative cells of Clostridium tetani are usually rod-shaped and up to 2.5 μm long, but they become enlarged and tennis racket- or drumstick-shaped when forming spores.
- C. tetani spores are extremely hardy and can be found globally in soil or in the gastrointestinal tract of animals.
- If inoculated into a wound, C. tetani can grow and produce a potent toxin, tetanospasmin, which interferes with motor neurons, causing tetanus.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Clostridium tetani article was read about 57,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
How to get Clostridium tetani
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.
