- Glycogen functions as one of three regularly used forms of energy reserves, creatine phosphate being for very short-term, glycogen being for short-term and the triglyceride stores in adipose tissue being for long-term storage.
- Protein, broken down into amino acids, is seldom used as a main energy source except during starvation and glycolytic crisis.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glycogen article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
