The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are both steric and electronic effects that affect the relative stability of conformers.
- Ordinarily, steric effects predominate to place large substituents far from each other.
- However, this is not the case for certain substituents, typically those that are highly electronegative.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gauche effect article was read about 10,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Gauche effect
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.
