The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Porphyroclasts are fragments of the original rock before dynamic recrystallisation or cataclasis produced the groundmass.
- This means they are older than the groundmass.
- They were stronger pieces of the original rock, that could not deform as easily and were therefore not or minimally affected by recrystallisation.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Porphyroclast article was read about 1,400 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 38 and blocks with 16: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
How to get Porphyroclast
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.
