The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The clade contains about one-third of the world's modern species of vertebrates: over 14,000 species.
- A key anatomical innovation in acanthomorphs is hollow and unsegmented spines at the anterior edge of the dorsal and anal fins.
- A fish can extend these sharp bony spines to protect itself from predators, but can also retract them to decrease drag when swimming.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Acanthomorpha article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get Acanthomorpha
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.
