The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It includes all eukaryotes whose plastids contain chlorophyll c and are surrounded by four membranes.
- If the ancestor already possessed chloroplasts derived by endosymbiosis from red algae, all non-photosynthetic Chromista have secondarily lost the ability to photosynthesise.
- Its members might have arisen independently as separate evolutionary groups from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Chromista article was read about 39,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Chromista
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.
