Emergence, an Uncommon card
In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its components do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems.
- For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is arguably an emergent property of chemistry and physics.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Emergence article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Emergence
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.
