The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning.
- Systems are the subjects of study of systems theory and other systems sciences.
- Systems have several common properties and characteristics, including structure, function, behavior and interconnectivity.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The System article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get System
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.
