The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This species, which could grow up to 3.4 meters long, lived during the Early and Late Cretaceous Period, about 115–98 million years ago.
- Fossils have been recovered from the U.S. states of Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, in rocks of the Cloverly Formation and Antlers Formation, though teeth that may belong to Deinonychus have been found much farther east in Maryland.
- Paleontologist John Ostrom's study of Deinonychus in the late 1960s revolutionized the way scientists thought about dinosaurs, leading to the "dinosaur renaissance" and igniting the debate on whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Deinonychus article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Deinonychus
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.
