- Lutetium is also often considered a lanthanide, despite being a d-block element and a transition metal.
- The IUPAC lists the 15 elements La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, under the collective name lanthanoid, which it recommends as chemically more correct for this series.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lanthanide article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Lanthanide
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.
