The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Villin-1 is encoded by the VIL1 gene.
- Villin-1 contains multiple gelsolin-like domains capped by a small "headpiece" at the C-terminus consisting of a fast and independently folding three-helix bundle that is stabilized by hydrophobic interactions.
- The headpiece domain is a commonly studied protein in molecular dynamics due to its small size and fast folding kinetics and short primary sequence.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Villin-1 article was read about 1,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 59: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Villin-1
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.
