The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Mutations result from errors during replication, mitosis, meiosis, or damage to DNA, which then may trigger error-prone repair or cause an error during replication.
- Mutations may also result from substitution, insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements.
- Mutations may or may not produce detectable changes in the observable characteristics of an organism.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mutation article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Mutation
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.
