Carbon is actually a trace ingredient in the universe as a whole.
In the deck of card analogy, you'd have to inspect 60 decks of
cards to find the first card representing a carbon atom.
Virtually, all of the rest would be hydrogen and helium.
Heavier and heavier chemical elements are correspondingly rare.
And if we up to a heavy metal like gold, platinum or silver, these atoms
are remarkably rare in the universe as a whole.as indicated by star stuff.
In this analogy, see the building here,
a modern architectural cube somewhere in Germany, you can see the human for scale.
If you fill this entire cube with decks of cards, among average only one of
the cards among the many, many decks of cards would have a gold atom.
Gold is phenomenally rare as are other precious metals in the universe.
