Why it is Common

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
How to get Rho factor
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.
