The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a group-14 hydride, the simplest alkane, and the main constituent of natural gas.
- The abundance of methane on Earth makes it an economically attractive fuel, although capturing and storing it is difficult because it is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
- In the Earth's atmosphere methane is transparent to visible light but absorbs infrared radiation, acting as a greenhouse gas.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Methane article was read about 280,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Methane
