The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This is also known as the geodesic distance or shortest-path distance.
- Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices.
- If there is no path connecting the two vertices, i.e., if they belong to different connected components, then conventionally the distance is defined as infinite.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Distance article was read about 11,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Distance
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.
