The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment.
- The epidermis serves several functions: it protects against water loss, regulates gas exchange, secretes metabolic compounds, and absorbs water and mineral nutrients.
- The epidermis of most leaves shows dorsoventral anatomy: the upper and lower surfaces have somewhat different construction and in most cases serve different functions.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Epidermis article was read about 15,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 31: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Epidermis
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.
