The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Colorado River valley in western Colorado, United States.
- Riggs named the dinosaur Brachiosaurus altithorax, the generic name is Greek for "arm lizard", in reference to its proportionately long arms, and the specific name means "deep chest".
- Brachiosaurus is estimated to have been between 18 and 22 meters long, body mass estimates of the subadult holotype specimen range from 28.3 to 46.9 metric tons.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Brachiosaurus article was read about 290,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
