The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- The newest manifestation of cluster computing is cloud computing.
- The components of a cluster are usually connected to each other through fast local area networks, with each node running its own instance of an operating system.
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 cluster article was read about 40,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Computer cluster
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.
