The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the most famous genus of the Osteostraci, an extinct class of Palaeozoic armoured jawless fish.
- The type species of the genus, C. lyelli was described from the Early Devonian-aged Old Red Sandstone of Scotland in 1835.
- However this species is poorly preserved, and numerous species have since been assigned to the genus based on characters that are common to many osteostracans, making it a wastebasket taxon.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cephalaspis article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Cephalaspis
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.
