The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight.
- The polymer chains associate by intermolecular forces, which weaken rapidly with increased temperature, yielding a viscous liquid.
- In this state, thermoplastics may be reshaped, and are typically used to produce parts by various polymer processing techniques such as injection molding, compression molding, calendering, and extrusion.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Thermoplastic article was read about 66,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Thermoplastic
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.
