The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is considered to be the first synthetic pigment.
- Egyptian blue is produced from a mixture of silica, lime, copper, and an alkali.
- Its color is due to a calcium-copper tetrasilicate CaCuSi4O10 of the same composition as the naturally occurring mineral cuprorivaite.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Egyptian blue article was read about 53,000 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 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
