The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A random sequence of events, symbols or steps often has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination.
- Individual random events are, by definition, unpredictable, but if there is a known probability distribution, the frequency of different outcomes over repeated events is predictable.
- For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will tend to occur twice as often as 4.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Randomness article was read about 71,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Randomness
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.
