The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is formed by high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks.
- This rock is formed under pressures ranging from 2 to 15 kbar, sometimes even more, and temperatures over 300 °C.
- Gneiss nearly always shows a banded texture characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands and without a distinct cleavage.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gneiss article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
