Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, an Uncommon card
In physics, the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, or Maxwell distribution, is a particular probability distribution named after James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was first defined and used for describing particle speeds in idealized gases, where the particles move freely inside a stationary container without interacting with one another, except for very brief collisions in which they exchange energy and momentum with each other or with their thermal environment.
- The term "particle" in this context refers to gaseous particles only, and the system of particles is assumed to have reached thermodynamic equilibrium.
- The energies of such particles follow what is known as Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics, and the statistical distribution of speeds is derived by equating particle energies with kinetic energy.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution
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.
