The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is similar to the asteroid belt, but is far larger, 20 times as wide and 20–200 times as massive.
- Like the asteroid belt, it consists mainly of small bodies or remnants from when the Solar System formed.
- While many asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, most Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles, such as methane, ammonia, and water.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Kuiper belt article was read about 300,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Kuiper belt
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.
