The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is sometimes called the Brazil nut effect, when the largest of irregularly shaped particles end up on the surface of a granular material containing a mixture of variously sized objects.
- This name derives from the example of a typical container of mixed nuts, in which the largest will be Brazil nuts.
- Under experimental conditions, granular convection of variously sized particles has been observed forming convection cells similar to fluid motion.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Granular convection article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
