The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the divs are "gods that are rejected".
- This meaning is – subject to interpretation – perhaps also evident in the Old Persian "daiva inscription" of the 5th century BC.
- Div, the Iranian language term, shares the same origin of "Deva" of Hinduism, which is a cognate with Latin deus and Greek Zeus.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Daeva article was read about 81,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
How to get Daeva
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.
