The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The event caused the extinction of all the non-avian dinosaurs and most other tetrapods weighing more than 25 kg, excepting some ectothermic species such as sea turtles and crocodilians.
- It marked the ends of both the Cretaceous period and the Mesozoic era, and logged the beginning of the current geological era, the Cenozoic era.
- In the geologic record, the K–Pg event is marked by a thin layer of sediment called the K–Pg boundary or K–T boundary, which can be found throughout the world in marine and terrestrial rocks.
Why it is Epic

The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event article was read about 760,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 95 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
