Electroplating, an Uncommon card
Electroplating, also known as electrochemical deposition or electrodeposition, is a process for producing a metal coating on a solid substrate through the reduction of cations of that metal by means of a direct electric current.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The part that needs to be coated acts as the cathode of an electrolytic cell, the electrolyte is a solution of a salt whose cation is the metal to be coated, and the anode is usually either a block of that metal, or of some inert conductive material.
- The current is provided by an external power supply.
- Electroplating is widely used in industry and decorative arts to improve the surface qualities of objects, such as resistance to abrasion and corrosion, lubricity, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, or appearance.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electroplating article was read about 75,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Electroplating
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.
