The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Veins form when mineral constituents carried by an aqueous solution within the rock mass are deposited through precipitation.
- The hydraulic flow involved is usually due to hydrothermal circulation.
- Veins are classically thought of as being planar fractures in rocks, with the crystal growth occurring normal to the walls of the cavity, and the crystal protruding into open space.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Vein article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Vein
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.
