The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The word infinitesimal comes from a 17th-century Modern Latin coinage infinitesimus, which originally referred to the "infinitieth" item in a sequence.
- Infinitesimals do not exist in the standard real number system, but they do exist in other number systems, such as the surreal number system and the hyperreal number system, which can be thought of as the real numbers augmented with both infinitesimal and infinite quantities, the augmentations are the reciprocals of one another.
- Infinitesimal numbers were introduced in the development of calculus, in which the derivative was first conceived as a ratio of two infinitesimal quantities.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Infinitesimal article was read about 76,000 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 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Infinitesimal
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.
