The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Human embryos reach the blastocyst stage 4–5 days post fertilization, at which time they consist of 50–150 cells.
- Isolating the inner cell mass using immunosurgery results in destruction of the blastocyst, a process which raises ethical issues, including whether or not embryos at the pre-implantation stage have the same moral considerations as embryos in the post-implantation stage of development.
- Researchers focus heavily on the therapeutic potential of embryonic stem cells, with clinical use being the goal for many laboratories.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Embryonic stem cell article was read about 31,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Embryonic stem cell
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.
