The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the fourth period of both the Paleozoic and the Phanerozoic.
- It is named after Devon, South West England, where rocks from this period were first studied.
- The first significant evolutionary radiation of life on land occurred during the Devonian, as free-sporing land plants began to spread across dry land, forming extensive coal forests which covered the continents.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Devonian article was read about 370,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Devonian
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.
