The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached.
- The nucleoside of cytosine is cytidine.
- In Watson–Crick base pairing, it forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cytosine article was read about 41,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 40: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.

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.
