The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- She also appears in Hittite writings as Ašerdu or Ašertu, and as Athirat in Ugarit as the consort of ʾEl.
- Asherah was a major goddess in ancient Northwest Semitic cultures, often associated with fertility, motherhood, and sacred trees.
- Asherah was the goddess of the sea while "her husband El" was the god of 'heaven.' Asherah was sometimes called Elat, the feminine equivalent of El, and held titles such as "holy", "lady", or "progenitress of the gods".
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Asherah article was read about 360,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Asherah
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.
