- Garnet minerals, while sharing similar physical and crystallographic properties, exhibit a wide range of chemical compositions, defining distinct species.
- These species fall into two primary solid solution series: the pyralspite series, with the general formula [Mg,Fe,Mn]3Al23, and the ugrandite series, with the general formula Ca3[Cr,Al,Fe]23.
- Notable varieties of grossular include hessonite and tsavorite.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Garnet article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get Garnet
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.
