The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Greisen is formed by self-generated alteration of a granite and is a class of moderate- to high-temperature magmatic-hydrothermal alteration related to the late-stage release of volatiles dissolved in a magma during the solidification of that magma.
- Greisens are usually variably altered rocks, grading from coarse, crystalline granite, commonly vuggy with miarolitic cavities, through to quartz and muscovite rich rocks, which may be locally rich in topaz, tourmaline, cassiterite, fluorite, beryl, wolframite, siderite, molybdenite and other sulfide minerals, and other accessory minerals.
- They may occur as small to large veins, or large zones in the roof of some granites.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Greisen article was read about 5,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 21: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
