The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The main group includes the elements in groups 1 and 2, and groups 13 to 18.
- The s-block elements are primarily characterised by one main oxidation state, and the p-block elements, when they have multiple oxidation states, often have common oxidation states separated by two units.
- Advances in this area are often described in the journal Main Group Chemistry.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Main-group element article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 43 and blocks with 17: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
How to get Main-group element
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.
