The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term is commonly applied to artificial devices, such as those employing engines or motors, but also to natural biological macromolecules, such as molecular machines.
- Machines can be driven by animals and human power, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal, or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement.
- They can also include computers and sensors that monitor performance and plan movement, often called mechanical systems.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Machine article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get Machine
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.
