The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is often a general description that ignores precise implementation details.
- It covers the instruction set architecture, CPU microarchitecture, memory, and input/output systems.
- Computer architecture also considers tradeoffs between performance, cost, power, reliability, and security.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Computer architecture article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get Computer architecture
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.
