The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a shiny gray metal having a low density, low melting point, and high chemical reactivity.
- Like the other alkaline earth metals, it occurs naturally only in combination with other elements and almost always has an oxidation state of +2.
- It reacts readily with air to form a thin passivation coating of magnesium oxide that inhibits further corrosion of the metal.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Magnesium article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
