The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is thus distinct from overburden, which is the waste rock or materials overlying an ore or mineral body that is displaced during mining without being processed.
- The separation of valuable mineral from gangue minerals is known as mineral processing, mineral dressing, or ore dressing.
- It is a necessary, and often significant, aspect of mining.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gangue article was read about 25,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Gangue
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.
