The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are several ways to carry out the process of de-extinction.
- Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although genome editing and selective breeding have also been considered.
- Similar techniques have been applied to certain endangered species, in hopes of boosting their genetic diversity.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The De-extinction article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get De-extinction
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.
