The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Increased pressure and temperature only start to play a role as sediments become buried much deeper in the Earth's crust.
- In the early stages, the transformation of poorly consolidated sediments into sedimentary rock is simply accompanied by a reduction in porosity and water expulsion, while their main mineralogical assemblages remain unaltered.
- As the rock is carried deeper by further deposition above, its organic content is progressively transformed into kerogens and bitumens.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Diagenesis article was read about 23,000 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 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Diagenesis
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.
