The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was developed in stages throughout the latter half of the 20th century, through the work of many scientists worldwide, with the current formulation being finalized in the mid-1970s upon experimental confirmation of the existence of quarks.
- Since then, proof of the top quark, the tau neutrino, and the Higgs boson have added further credence to the Standard Model.
- In addition, the Standard Model has predicted with great accuracy the various properties of weak neutral currents and the W and Z bosons.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Standard Model article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Standard Model
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.
