The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Many groups of single-celled, microscopic organisms, or microbes, possess the ability to enter this dormant state.
- Encystment, the process of cyst formation, can function as a method for dispersal and as a way for an organism to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions.
- These two functions can be combined when a microbe needs to be able to survive harsh conditions between habitable environments in order to disperse.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Microbial cyst article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
