The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In humans, the pigmentation of the iris varies from light brown to black, depending on the concentration of melanin in the iris pigment epithelium, the melanin content within the iris stroma, and the cellular density of the stroma.
- The appearance of blue, green, and hazel eyes results from the Tyndall scattering of light in the stroma, a phenomenon similar to Rayleigh scattering which accounts for the blue sky.
- Neither blue nor green pigments are present in the human iris or vitreous humour.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Eye color article was read about 530,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Eye color
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.
