The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In set theory, universes are often classes that contain all sets for which one hopes to prove a particular theorem.
- These classes can serve as inner models for various axiomatic systems such as ZFC or Morse–Kelley set theory.
- Universes are of critical importance to formalizing concepts in category theory inside set-theoretical foundations.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Universe article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Universe
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.
