The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is based on six salts and glucose described in Earle's salts in 1943: calcium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate.
- The medium is further supplemented with thirteen essential amino acids, and eight vitamins: thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, pyrodoxine, folic acid, choline, and myo-inositol.
- Many variations of this medium have been developed, mostly adding additional vitamins, amino acids, and/or other nutrients.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Eagle's minimal essential medium 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 52 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
