Entropy, an Uncommon card
In thermodynamics, entropy is often associated with the amount of order or disorder in a thermodynamic system.

Power 121 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 60 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This stems from Rudolf Clausius' 1862 assertion that any thermodynamic process always "admits to being reduced [reduction] to the alteration in some way or another of the arrangement of the constituent parts of the working body" and that internal work associated with these alterations is quantified energetically by a measure of "entropy" change, according to the following differential expression…
- In the years to follow, Ludwig Boltzmann translated these 'alterations of arrangement' into a probabilistic view of order and disorder in gas-phase molecular systems.
- In the context of entropy, "perfect internal disorder" has often been regarded as describing thermodynamic equilibrium, but since the thermodynamic concept is so far from everyday thinking, the use of the term in physics and chemistry has caused much confusion and misunderstanding.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Entropy article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Entropy
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.
