The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection.
- Two major categories are traditionally recognized, articulate and inarticulate brachiopods.
- The word "articulate" is used to describe the tooth-and-groove structures of the valve-hinge which is present in the articulate group, and absent from the inarticulate group.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Brachiopod 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 84 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get Brachiopod
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.
