The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Most species are toxic to humans and many other species, primarily due to the presence of cardenolides.
- However, as with many such plants, some species feed upon milkweed leaves or the nectar from their flowers.
- A noteworthy feeder on milkweeds is the monarch butterfly, which uses and requires certain milkweeds as host plants for its larvae.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Asclepias article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
