The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is designed to replace older expansion bus standards such as PCI, PCI-X and AGP.
- Developed and maintained by the PCI-SIG, PCIe is commonly used to connect graphics cards, sound cards, Wi-Fi and Ethernet adapters, and storage devices such as solid-state drives and hard disk drives.
- Compared to earlier standards, PCIe supports faster data transfer, uses fewer pins, takes up less space, and allows devices to be added or removed while the computer is running.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The PCI Express article was read about 430,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get PCI Express
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.
